	Another overlap.  Appears as though the  47--RHO--line  was running
quite early in the game along with the 49--RHO--line!  So eventually the
46-line is redesignated the 49-line leaving the 47--RHO--line.

	NOW...  since the conversion from 46- to 49-line took place 1946.09.30,
that means the 46-line was operating all the way to Gearing loop as PCCs
were used by then.

	AND...  this begs the question:::::::

	WHY  not just leave the route sign  46--BROWNSVILLE?  OR...

	WHY  was it signed Brownsville if it didn't go there?  OR...

	DID  the 46-line follow the 44 to Amanda and Brownsville?
