Compromise joint which needs a lot of work for the temporary switch.

View looking north from New Getwell Overpass. Temporary switch is clearly seen here with concrete ties. The plan is to merge the NB main into the new track and the SB main into the NB main. Basically, shifting one track to the right (east).
