Is it common for HESR to pull across the Durand diamond rather than use the Port Huron wye? Why do they cross it rather than use the wye?

14:15 - HESR Job 702 pulls across the diamond in Durand for head room today instead of utilizing the Port Huron Wye. 3390/3484

15:39 - HESR job 701 backs across the diamond in Durand and departs. 3484/3390 and a small train today.

It is not common for them to do that. Not sure why they did that unless the PH Wye was being worked on at the time.
