Skunk switching Hollow wye(desvio/aguja ferroviaro)
TranSystems believes the elimination of the Skunk Hollow switching wye will be advantageous to the Saint Louis Park community. A direct southbound connection to the MN&S Spur will eliminate the switching which is necessary to send railcars that way today and which blocks roadways in the process.

Whereas, the TranSystems solution means there will no longer be any freight switching, sorting, or blocking operations within St Louis Park City limits, including the elimination of the Skunk Hollow wye and storage track east of Trunk Highway 100, and.....

: Leaving aside the fact that "Skunk switching Hollow wye" doesn't appear in the ST, what is your proposed translation?

Nice for you to bring it up. There is a mistake in the term requested. It just appears as "switching wye" when it should have been Skunk switching Holow wye, which is the name of the rail track switching place. I forgot to question it. Read the context.

One of St. Louis Park's conditions for accepting a re-route plan is removal of the "switching wye", (Illustrated in gold on this map) The switching wye is a holdover from previous railroad operations in the "skunk hollow" portion of St. Louis Park. The purpose of the wye is to make it possible for trains to change to/from an east/west direction on the Bass Lake Spur to/from a north/south direction on the MN&S. It is a substitute for a more efficient ramp (like a freeway interconnect) that could do the same thing much more easily.
