OK. One last pic. This attached below is the relevant part of the PC title. I see why the auto program has produced stepped kinks - because there is a bulge in the rail line towards Okriabrski, though taken as a whole the chunk between Komsomolets and Prokhorovka still looks more like a rail line. But the kink towards Oktiabrski has to be innacurate if you look at even a modern map. There is no reason why it would run off the high ground that leads straight to Prokhorovka and doing so would drop it into the tips of two balkas. It can't have been to get nearer to the farm, because, as I said, the accounts state there was a branch line from Oktiabrski up to the main line.

At Getsovka, for what it's worth, the railway line should roughly be as in the pic below, which would leave the right amount of exposed open, flat, marshy land between the station and village. But as I said above, why wouldn't the railway go like this, in a straight line?
