I don't understand why there is a big gap between the two main tracks, but then I look at the following image and see that the power company put a power line pole in between the two tracks! I wonder if the CNW relocated one of the main tracks for power line or if they simply abandoned a third track through here.

This link....http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=386157...explains why there is a "gap" between these tracks in this image. There used to be three tracks! Both images are taken about the same place in Hopkins, right next to where Honeywell and Aliant Tech Systems were for years. The older shot is from August 1966 and this is from August 1985, so about twenty years difference.
