The passing track was disconnected and now is only used to display a handcar. Later, for safety reasons, and to allow the use of more than two trains, the line was changed so that trains followed behind each other, no longer able to pass one another. A passing track was incorporated at Main Street station where one train had to wait to allow the other to pass. Under the original track plan, two trains (one freight and one passenger) could operate on the railroad simultaneously, running in the same direction.
The line features grade crossing signals, automatic block signals, and a roundhouse for locomotive storage.
