             Was just looking at the PRMA and ERA maps  --  hadn't 
checked the topo or I would have been aware of the exact routing  --  
and do not have this particular topo  --  at least not where I can put 
my fingers on it.

                Now, how was it used?     The connection is via outbound 
North.     But the turn from Concord onto Madison overshoots the track 
on Madison giving the appearance that an Inbound car from Concord could 
wait for an outbound Madison bound car to pass  --  OR  the wide over 
swing was necessary for clearance on the narrow streets.
