Crossing Dayton Street, ready to line the wye switch         
After rounding the tight curve on the west leg of the wye, the train will run parallel to the Watertown Sub main for a couple miles before joining the double track CTC territory at Watertown West. The switch used to be in Watertown proper, but was moved following a derailment in fall 2015. Prior to that, it used to be standard practice for these trains to run the power around and shove out onto the main via the east wye switch before heading west.
