Please excuse the picture quality; these were taken by cell phone. The first picture is  WLE's Sterling Road crossing, looking north. The siding is being extended south to Sterling Road from downtown Creston, OH.  Second pic is the north end of the siding in Creston.

Doesn't the existing siding that starts (south) by Brooklyn Ave in downtown Creston extend to within a few thousand feet, at the most, of Sterling Rd?  Obviously the WLE has the business/train length to justify this expense. Interesting.

Bigger longer trains can meet in the siding.  Many of the propane trains are westbound and go to Willard (CSX) or Bellevue (NS) or even Toledo.  100 car trains are usual.  The trains are originating in western PA and eastern Ohio from shale gas.
