Hi Chris,

This might partly answer another (mostly unrelated) question I had: is there a ditch between the main and a siding on the C&S?  

It would appear from the Glenisle picture (purposefully left in the reply to ease comparison) that the roadbed is essentially flat across the bottom of the ties, and what little ditch there is is a result of the ballast rising to top-of-tie-height between the rails.

The picture of the stub switch and Jefferson siding you brought my attention to earlier (below) is a bit different.  The top of the siding rails appears about even with the bottom of the mainline ties, with no ditch at all between the lines:

Was either one or the other more typical, or were they all pretty varied?

Thanks,

Jeff.
