CTC goes by several abbreviations, and this has to do with copyright issues for the CTC acronym and one railroad trying to be different from its competitors. So if that CSX subdivision has "TC", standing for "traffic control" with CPs (control points), then it has what is generally referred to as "CTC". The Western Pacific used to refer to CTC as "TCS" or "traffic control system".
It's never been definitely clarified whether the CSX train was on a defined siding or just some storage track and whether the track had a hand-throw switch or a power swtich which had been placed in hand-throw because of the signal suspension.
The absence of signals on either side of the switch tends to idicate that the track was just a storage track (and that the switch was a hand-throw, most likely with an electric switch lock -- which would have been disabled on account of the signal suspension).
