I don't know about that. The article makes it sound like the train departed northbound from A3 at Canal Street.
The proper series of steps would have been to empty the train of passengers, pull into a spur track just south of Canal [A5 track north of Chambers], and then maneuver through a switch to the northbound express track, authorities said.

Instead, operator simply went north on the same southbound track, apparently thinking she would soon encounter the crossover switch she needed by going in that direction.
No such crossover would be encountered until north of 23rd Street.

I guess there aren't any reverse direction marker signals in that area.
