Correct for Eglinton, backward for Osgoode.  (Most or all of the other
center tracks can be entered from either end, by the way.)

While I have seen trains parked in center tracks many times, these
sightings have been rare enough that I doubt this explanation.  Trains
not in service are normally parked in the various yards.  Of course,
it could have been a former operating method not followed today.
