Jefferson--Chestnut -- Little Washington

[Edward H. Lybarger]

Jefferson & Chestnut was a wide-angle intersection with plenty of
visibility.  It has been revised to 90 degrees today.  Don't believe there
were any clearance signals in Washington.

Greetings!

	This intersection would be NC - two cars could not pass on the turn
because the tracks are so close together.  It also looks like a blind
intersection.  Were there clearance lights to prevent two cars meeting
on the turn?
	What about at Chestnut and Main and . . .
	Main and Beau?
	Were clearances sufficient to allow 2-cars to pass on the turns?
