The special Locher rack system is used on the line due to steep gradients. Pilatusbahn is the only line in the world, where such system is used. Because of that the transfer tables and track turners are used instead of conventional points. The difference in rack systems is explained via the following link in German, but photos are self-explanatory:

Ввиду крутых уклонов, на линии использована особая технология зубчатых ж.д. Locher System. Линия Pilatusbahn - единственная в мире, где используется такая технология. Из-за этого вместо обычных стрелок на линии применяются передвижные или поворотные "столы". Разница между технологиями зубчатых ж.д. объясняется по ссылке на немецком, с прилагающимися общепонятными картинками:
