This is a CNW Railway Question.

[Anonymous]

Location,Mo Valley to Woodbine,Iowa.
First. When the CNW Railway had single track from East Mo valley it was Main one crossover to main two all the way to what is now called willet. (Cross overs).
Since main two started at Mo valley, Then how in the world did main two become main one and then to become a siding at just east of the CCP bridge just west of Woodbine? Where main one in which WAS main two. just west of woodbine. I am realy lost in how main two all the way from Mo valley went to main one just before the woodbine siding(Main two). And then into woodbine it was all main one all the way to Denison. I am thinking that the CNW Railway just might have happend to just pull main two (OVER) to the other side of the road bed to creat what was now called:MAIN ONE!
I hope that you guys just what I am asking and talking about.
Ok! plain and simple.
East Mo valley. Main 1 to main 2 single track. Woodbine siding. Main 1 to main 1 plus the siding or main 2(?) if you can call it that. get it.[sigh].
I just can't understand how main 2 had become main 1 just before West Woodbine siding[?]. Any thoughts? Any help would be nice,though.
Im just trying to do some past Railroad catch up (studing) if you know what I mean.
Thanks, Allan.

1-Your question hurts. Can you re-boot it ?
2-The C&NW was known for running wrong main across Iowa, that is they had their EB and WB trains opposite of almost everyone else.
3-The C&NW had two tracks through here, and then took one out years ago.
4-When UP decided to put the second track through here again, they got trackage rights over the CCP or IC or CN line. I believe they decided to keep these rights making this almost three track territory.
