1990 there was additional track continuing for a mile or so north from the siding; it was primarily used to store cars. There was also a track that ran west from the additional track and followed the river more closely. A crew that I watched switching in the area call that the "old main line," which suggests that there had been a line change to the current alignment. There was a switching signal for access to that area that the dispatcher controlled. In addition, there were miscellaneous tracks between the old and new main lines that looked like a former small yard.
