Lemoyne Siding was popularly known as "Mud Switch."  Maybe that name had
something to do with the inordinate number of derailments there.

	Siding just south of Poplar as you mention.   It was 650--feet long
point to point which obviously includes the turnouts!   Think it was
known as "Lemoyne Siding.'   Leymone Street comes in at an angle here -
maybe it was there before Poplar!   Can't think of any pictures at the
moment.
