	McDonnell.

	Mesta then Bethel going southbound then downhill and around the
gentle curve to McDonnell at a grade crossing.


	Believe the post-abandonment photo you want of Simmons would be
June--1953 forward.    Track  *may*  have been removed from
Charleroi faster than from Washington.

	Did a crossing exist in Simmons loop when it was built??    O-R 
did the crews come out after the last car and pull up some
Charleroi rail to install the final curves segments on the
Simmons Loop??
