I am curious having seen a 1913 Sanborn map of Farmington and having read about the difficult switching situation. The map only showed two parallel tracks. Surely there was a wye somewhere so the locomotives could be turned.
It was also interesting to read about locomotives trying to get back to the Bondad area to get water because of it's poor quality in the Farmington area.
