The Adams siding was the northernmost passing siding on the line at the time of the closure.

The siding starts at the point where US 522 diverges from the EBT south of Allenport and is 1148' in length.

The Mount Union Connecting Railroad is clearing both tracks at the siding for their operations. It is unclear at this time whether they plan to dual gauge the siding (requiring installing dual gauge switches) or only the main (requires only adding rail to the east.
