It allows trains headed south to bypass the main yard...assuming CSX didn't park a train on it.I'd love to see a diagram. From other sources, it looks like somebody paid for the 1993 installation of a Passenger Main but that, yes, CSX parks trains on it. Sounds like a combination of a rookie mistake by State/Fed officials at the dawn of actual govt investments in deals for more passenger service in which they didn't write a good contract (apparently there is/was a similar problem in New Orleans?) and bad-old-days CSX
It sounds like someone isn't getting their money's worth.
