Since learning of this wye, I’ve been in touch with a person that is familiar 
with current Ft. Madison operations.  They confirm that this is the east leg of 
the old wye between the Q yard on the K-Line and the ATSF yard.  They also 
confirm what Bill said about the maintenance of this trackage, it is currently 
embargoed for most everything.  It definitely will not handle 6-axle power due 
to the weight and the track curvature.  Therefore, it is doubtful that the BNSF 
would never allow the move due to insurance issues.  
 
If there is any freight "interchanged" between the two lines, it would be 
extremely rare.  
 
Turning Amtrak’s 5 & 6 on this trackage is virtually impossible without major 
upgrades, but if it was tried, it would fun to watch the clean up...
