	Yes, Bob  --  this is what I have described in considerable detail in
previous posts.  The photo in the above URL shows this as a STUB track -
the map on your website shows this track running to a place where it is
the first switch after the 44-48 jct. south of the tunnel portal - a
switch that branches off even before the interurban lines.  This map,
not a scale drawing but a very good representation, might be accurate
for about 1935, but that track is definitely a STUB track by 1950.  I
also sent you a much more clear photo of this STUB track.
	Will also send you several copies of the 1927-1950 maps to which Don
and I refer.
