This probably should be obvious but it's giving me fits - two single track
lines, one up a grade (left with the car) presumably unidirectional, merging
into one single track on a very narrow street.  Assuming it's not a charter
off-route with a fake sign, I can't figure it out from either of the track
maps available based on the 77/54 routings. Is that a church? John Swindler
and Ed Lybarger, you're the experts - what say you?.
