Near the east end of Rocky, the number of tracks expands from two to four for a short distance. The track on the far left is the house track. If you are not familiar with that term, a house track is usually a few hundred feet long and is often found alongside a siding. If a train needs to set out a car for some reason, a house track is a great place to put it so as not to have to block the entire siding. The track on the far right is the Rocky Spur, which runs about 4 miles to the north. the MGJNY here is rolling east on the main.
