Just Medora and Brechin East are signaled sidings with 25 mph speed limits. Medora fits about 13k feet and Brechin East fits 12.6k but only 8.8k between crossingsZephyr has two level crossings already, it's a fairly small 6500 feet. I would be moving the whole siding south of Queensville Side road where there is much more length without road crossings.
More likely, it will be the passenger train, and not the freights, that will be using the siding. And it's long enough already for that.
I do suspect that the mods are simply higher turnout speeds and maybe signalling the siding track - can't remember if the sidings on the Bala are even signalled.

That's kinda why I mentioned extending smail southwards to the crossing south of smail (would then fit 14k feet) or moving Pefferlaw entirely. But since the business case nentiond Zephyr then I'll just keep it at ZephyrWill it fit oversiding trains? Cus if not, it isn't that useful.
north side of Zephyr to Queensville fits 8.8k feet
Moving Zephyr completely south to fit between Queensville and Princess street would fit about 12k feet.
Currently York-Durham line's crossing in Zephyr has been closed for the last 2 years at least. North side of zephyr to Princess Street fits about 21k feet...
