If this has been covered on this list before I apologize.
I was just wondering why the interurban to Washington did not use
the same trackage as the local cars instead of using the wye?
They looped around the city of Washington when the local lines were
abandoned. Why didn't they do this all the time? The wye seemed like
it would be a royal pain backing into city traffic.
  Where did the interurban cars lay over when they looped the city
of Washington in the waning days of service?
