Railroad photograph

In this 400mm shot of a westbound oil empty, stopped in the siding at Tolland, you can easily identify which track is the main and which is the siding. The main has continuous welded rail, while the siding still has joints every 66 feet (roughly). The train is stopped to allow both the morning Zephyr and the Rocky Mountaineer to pass. The Zephyr is only about 15 minutes away.
