If you look a bit in the background of this oil train, you'll notice a bend in the tracks to the left. Indeed, you might notice that the main track where the back half of this train is looks to align perfectly with the siding on the far side of the bend. You'd be correct as, until sometime around 1990, there were actually two sidings at Granby. An east siding and a west siding. Each was about 4,700 feet long. The two siding were ultimately combined to make a single 7,325 foot long siding (and main) that exist today.
