As UP 9795 heads south out of La Salle, take note of the siding as it bows out and away from the mainline before converging with the main at the switch. This is very common with many sidings and is done to provide a better angle for the siding as it joins the main at the switch. This can allow trains to proceed through the switch at a slightly higher speed than they would otherwise be allowed.
