Frank,

     From everything that I can find, before the line was double 
tracked, I think that the wye was at Pkin. Maybe part of Pkin spur. You 
might look at drawing #C10490 in the archives. Here is a topo map still 
showing the spur.

     After the double track was installed, the wye track was moved to 
Lofton. It was maybe a quarter mile or less north of the road crossing, 
going off to the east side. There was also a crossover installed in the 
area. The wye was located in the upper right corner of this photo, where 
the wide line of trees meets the RoW.
