	Everything changes over time and many times goes full circle.  While it 
may have been a one car shuttle in 1929, the maps show it possibly thru-routed at 
least during rush hours in other times and could easily revert back to a one car 
shuttle!  One of the maps shows two crossovers toward the outer end of the line!
