HI!

	Looking at the topo maps (circa 19XX - Don, help me out please - I
believe you have a similar set!) and the X-Over is Not shown on North
Charles Street at Perrysville - just a double track turn north to
connect with Perrysville.

	How--Some--Ever  --
		1)--the X-Over on Evergreen at Rutland Does Show as 
			does the extension of the interurban into prw
			and a spur track heading east off the 
			northbound track for several car--lengths.
		2)--Additionally, the terminal for the 43-line on 
			Bailey at the Castle Shannon Incline shows
			this as a double track stub with an X-Over.
		3)--West Carson and Smithfield, 32-line X-Over
			is very faint IF it is shown!

	The intersection of Beltzhoover and Warrington is quite interesting,
and probably Wrong!!  You can only turn into Beltzhoover heading west or
south west - 46-Brownsville outbound and 48-Arlington inbound.  And  a
44-line or 46-linhe car inbound on Beltzhoover can only turn west, south
west toward South Hills Junction!
