That makes WAY more sense then. A storage track wouldn't have signals or a control point at each end like a siding. So SILICA STG is "other than main track". I was getting hung up on the constant use of the term siding in everything I read here and elsewhere and couldn't figure out why there were no signals. All makes sense now. Thanks!
