Ten years ago, you would have seen the east switch of Yarmony in this picture. However, when UP extended Yarmony several thousand feet to the west, they also moved the east switch west. This took the switch off the S-Curve seen here, and prevented the siding from crossing a road, allowing trains to stop on the siding without blocking the road.
