Original Note:
This device is indeed a derailer. However, its purpose is to protect workers and the tracks from unauthorised or accidental traffic. These most likely have been installed by the railroad themselves. The bright yellow colouring would be at odds with any nefarious purpose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derail
