Actually, this can be a staged manuver. They will let 391 work the stationa
dnthen back-up to clear. Then, 392 will work the station and go north and
let 391 proceed. This allows those getting off the opprtunity to get off
without waiting. 392 was probably back far enough to justify this event,
like probably not out of Tolono yet. Perfectly logical on a single track
railroad.
