Oh boy, it would be interesting to see a train navigate this turn. After the railway was torn out, there was alot of confusion as to what was going to happen to the land. Many thought it was to be returned to the owner of the land it was originally part of before the coal company created the railway. This turn is a result of just that, the land was incorporated into a back lawn, and when the trail was being created, rather then fighting over the rights, an agreement was made to divert the trail around the now in use land.
