	The 1949--ERA map indicates that the 65 was using the loop on
8th between Ravine and Rankin Bridge.    The 1959 PRMA map
indicates the 65 used the same loop.    This loop was shared with
the 55A- and 60-lines.    Someone suggested that the 65 shared
the 59-line on Ravine to Homeville but that is not indicated by
the maps.

	Apparently the 59-line shared the 65 line and terminated on West
about midway between 12th and 22nd where the 65-line became
single track  --  excellent place for a double-ender to return.
