Down At The Y
Kind of like a Magic Tee for RF!
When you get to the Grand Canyon you get an opportunity to traverse the Y, something that made no sense to me until I took a good look at it on Google Maps.
Since there's no turntable at the Grand Canyon and only one way in they've got to have a method to get you turned around and that's the Y. If you look at the Y on Google Maps:
36.05477145405851, -112.14325235407148
and follow the tracks out you can see how they accomplish the turnaround. Pretty interesting feat of engineering and much easier to understand than an RF Magic Tee:

Unless you're an RF Engineer I would recommend not checking out the link above, you'll probably wind up more confused than when you started...you've been warned!
