By law both tracks would have to have D Rails in both directions.  Can't have 
someone running against the current of traffic on Train Orders, and have him 
90 degree a PRR train just because he isn't going with the current of traffic 
in 251 territory and he missed the dwarf signal east of the photographer.

There is probable a lot of Optical Illusion here.  The Derails are probable a 
lot further
-From the diamonds than you think.  Ripping up some piping was by far 
preferred to hitting a PRR train on the diamonds.
