[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by zardoz</i> <br /><br />Now THIS is an example of a good thread: lots of intelligent questions, intelligent answers, and no shouting. <br /> <br />THIS is the kind of stuff I visit the forums for. <br />---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br />quoted from futuremodal: <br />2. Following up on the idea of CTC DT, instead of using the parallel line as the siding (and temporarily blocking the opposing traffic), do/did/will any railroad that you know of use a short section of 3rd middle track as a "siding" for both tracks? I mean, how likely is it for a a typical corridor that hosts 100+ trains per day that such a middle "siding" would need to be used by both an eastbound and a westbound drag freight at the same time? <br /> <br />fm: Would not the triple-track line through Nebraska meet your criteria? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I would think de facto triple track is "more" than the idea of double track with middle shared sidings. I am not familiar with how UP's triple track through Nebraska is managed in terms of crossovers and holding tracks. Is the middle track the designated holding track?
