Conrail Chicago Line at CP 235, Schuyler, NY just 2 miles east of Utica Station. A crossover has experienced a malfunction and the signals at CP235 have dropped to red for both directions. The Chicago Line is effectively blocked. The is both a westbound freight on track 2 and an eastbound freight on track 1 that have been stopped facing each other at each end of the crossover. A maintenance worker arrives and finds that the switch on the number two track has failed to completely return to normal. After he manually locks it in place and checks the rest of the crossover both freights are cleared to proceed and they waste no time accelerating away as he prepares to make repairs.
