In the Rio Grande days, the switch at the west end of Cliff was a "Y" switch. In other words, you diverged slightly whether you were staying on the main or taking the siding. Union Pacific has done away with that, however. Now, the main curves to the left before reaching the switch. Here, a westbound coal empty runs over the switch, passing the MNYRO which is tied down on the siding.
