On the C.V.S.Ry there is an industry located at Northville which is the North wye tail. In normal operations, it is the second tail the train enters when traversing the wye, and it enters in reverse. Using the following schematic to illustrate, the train originates at WEST and travels the main to DEEP, then reverses through the wye to NORT finally continuing on via WALK to INDY, then back to WEST.
There are no run-arounds, so all switching is done trailing point. Not shown in the schematic are some recent siding additions between INDY and PINE. These are facing point when the train arrives, so they are passsed by and switched after traversing the wye. To switch Northville, I would drop the caboose and any cars behind the desired cars before PINE, then proceed to DEEP and shove back to NORT where the cars are dropped. The train then returns to PINE to pick up the remainder of the train. Next it proceeds to DEEP again and shoves back to NORT again to finally complete the trip around the wye. After switching Northvile this way for a few months I figured the crews would not want to waste so much time retracing steps if there was another way. Today, the move has been redefined. The train stops at pine, and as usual, cuts the cars needed for Northville. But rather than shove those cars all the way to NORT, they are dropped just North of the switch, and the train goes back for the remaining cars and caboose at PINE. The cars just dropped are tacked on to the end of the train behind the caboose for the long shove to NORT where they will be dropped. Once the drop is complete, the train is ready to proceed to INDY with no further work. This seems to be quite a bit faster and actually adds a bit of interest for the spectators at Pine Summit.
