Let me clarify what I so hurriedly wrote. If a train needed to clear the 
main line, it would have to do so in a spur with a electric (timed) lock 
switch stand. The switch stand shown is not that type, yet, it is 
connected to a box that would show that it is open. Such are common on 
hand thrown derails and any other switch. In this case the switch 
appears to be on a siding.
