The siding at Talmage KY is the first/last place that trains can meet on the East end of the Louisville district. When traffic is heavy, its not unusual for trains to wait for "a while" at Talmage, and multiple train meets are not uncommon. West Talmage is also the point where CTC ends for Westbound trains.

In this scene, NS 275 will hold the main to meet Westbound I-24 and M-12.
