Does this make sense? Actually a long siding would be needed. If a heavy freight is moving at a good speed and has to 'side' for an oncoming train because he nearer to it. Then he would have to get onto the siding and stop in a required time/distance. Of course everyone here knows how long it takes a train to stop. <br /> I am not as knowledgeable about trains as you guys so maybe this scenario would be unlikely exept in an emergency. Maybe dispatch keeps up with where the trains are on a main line more acurrately than I think.
