The only reason I can think they would have been stopped at this location would be that they were heading west toward Jackson and had to do switching at Chelsea Grain. The cars (2 on the spur) were either being picked up or dropped off) and the train needed to be stopped to the east of the road crossing to be clear. I would have been much more complicated to have them pull onto the double track then go all round the train the length of the Chelsea double track.
