Just in case this was missed-

Ok-after checking this in the DST and when using the FSParticle collection, the track position at the Ecal is still obtained as it was before and works. If I directly iterate over the UnconstrainedMollerCandidate collection, and get the tracks associated with a vertex, the track positions at the ecal don't really make a lot of sense (as mentioned in my previous e-mail). I'm not sure why this doesn't work in Pass3, but it did work in Pass 2. 

The getReferencePoint method is working, but I am having different results in the UnconstrainedMollerCandidateCollection than I did with Pass2. Additionally, this method still works for FSParticle collection.

Hi Matt,

In LCIO, TrackState 1 is “at IP”, so this definitely doesn’t seem like a good convention. Track state 4 is “at calorimeter” but, in any case, the reference point is meant to be independent of the trajectory itself, and I think using to store a track position (simply by our own convention) is not a good idea, since there is no way to guarantee this behavior (as is now found.)
