You didn't really clear anything up. Were Amtrak trains using Main 4, 5, or 6 and actually passing across the fuel pad or were they on main 1 or 2 just rolling past the yard at Hauser.

It is unusual to pass Amtrak across the fuel pad even to pick up crews especially when the train is running late. Like Bruce said it has happened. They have even been known to fuel #8 and #7 but it is rare.
