...And I have mentioned the MD McCarter photo of a PCC signed
	46--Brownsville so PCCs worked the line which means 
	there was a loop somewhere.

...AND  Tom Phillips, John-S, and others have mentioned that 
	there was a 49-line that ran up through the tunnel, 
	possibly as late as 1950 (although the quote from Ed 
	above would seem to rule that out.)

...And  it has also been mentioned that the 46--line ran into Allentown.

...Now  --  did the original 46-line terminate near Warrington 
	and reverse ends?  Did the original 46-line terminate 
	anywhere else in this vicinity and then reverse ends?  
	OR  did the 46 line always operate out Climax to Gearing?

Just prior to the 1946.09.30 sign change of the 46-line, 
	1)--was the 49-line running thru the tunnel?  
	2)--Did both these lines have the same outer terminal on Gearing?

	The plot, like Chunky, gets thickerer!
