HI!

	On the 1945 ERA map, Library Street has an X-Over on Library near
Bell.  There is also an X-Over on Braddock just outbound of Library. 
Library itself joins Braddock with a double track turn to and from the
west, rendering the latter turnout useless.

	The 1949 ERA map shows 2-derails each direction on Library for a total
of 4-derails, but no crossover.  The X-Over on Braddock is a
considerable distance from Library.

	The 1949 ERA map is far more accurately drawn - the 1945 map is like a
rough draft and is quite generalized in layout.
