Well, I should have been more careful making my challenge. I
wasn't looking at the picture but just remembering that it hadn't
looked quite the same to me as to some others. Obviously there is
some sort of junction - rather, former junction. But can we actually
see a curve to the right towards Perrysville Avenue? The unused
track looks to me to be coming straight from the 21.
For the sake of argument, I'd suggest that any possible circular
route must have ceased before 1910, the year of the Arnold report.
My argument centring on the 1937 map is irrelevant if we are
looking at unused trackage.
Just curious, Fred, how many drawers do those route cards
occupy?
