Classic Thermal Misalignment
What we have here just east of Calhoun Road on the UP Waukesha Sub is a Classic Thermal Misalignment. The derail on the left (north) rail is not to protect the TMA, but to protect the end of the inservice trackage. At the very left, you can see the back of the red flag, temporarily moved out of the guage while UP engineering works on Tie replacement and surfacing the line.
