9 times out of 10, the train is wyed at AY interlocking (which you linked) and stored/serviced in the station. Fueling is normally performed in WAS before it leaves for the turn.

The other time, the train is stored in a remote section off ACCA called Bryan Park. This usually happens when the system of tracks that is used as a wye isn't available for some reason. There is engine house where they can turn the engine but not the train, so the train (not the seats) will depart RVR backwards. It also has a 7 car cap.
