Railroad photograph
Photo by: Kevin Morgan
A look at the east switch of Malta. The siding is on the far left side of the photo. A stub track, used for loading gondolas, breaks off from the mainline on this side of the grade crossing. Note the derail for the stub track...currently aligned for the main. Unfortunately, there are no cars to keep from rolling off the stub track, so the position of the derail is irrelevant.
