Prototype BF / SF/ UN / AR Interlocking Diagram

The two double mains are separated enough that they indeed have separate exits from the mountain at Gallitzin. AR and UN towers exist here, as well as the eastbound and westbound passenger stations. The helper loop tracks between the two the diesel helper facility as it existed at the time, prior to its movement to Cresson later in the decade.

The tracks converge back to a four-track main as they pass under the Route 53 bridge.
