The grade widens here. In later years a siding was constructed at this site so that trains traveling in opposite directions could pass. Lower-priority trains, usually freights, were required to wait on a siding while higher-priority trains, pulling passengers or mail, continued on. Sidings were built about every three to five miles along the route.
