I don't quite understand this original post.  AFAIK there is no break
in the catenary between Spotswood and Yarraville (or Footscray or
North Melbourne for that matter), nor are there any alternate or
diverging roads.  If it was *years* ago, I suppose the signaller at
Yarraville could have routed the train into the sidings at Yarraville
(I've no idea of what the track layout used to be there).
