[CBQ] Pacific Junction, Iowa North-Douth Crossing

["Jerold Crawford" <jeroldincitruspark@gmail.com>]

I was on Google Maps and was looking at the actual junction in Pacific Junction, Iowa.  I noticed that the East-West line runs straight through the crossing.  It appears that the North-South line used to cross the East-West line there, but the track has been removed from the diamond.  Can anyone tell me about this, when it was done, and its rationale?  For a train to continue South to North it would involve quite a feat of turning onto the SE track to the East-West line. then backing up the train so that it can turn onto the.NW connecting then going North again, all the while blocking one or more of the East-West mainline(s).

Thanks;
