Not quite. There is also a stoopit arrangement of tracks there. It is not just a typical crossover since there are three tracks approaching a two track station. Thus there is a long section of track that a train arriving for the west track or a train departing the east track must transverse before the plant can be cleared to handle the next train.In principle, the middle track should allow trains to queue for each pocket separately. But there's still the killer exit move... |
