Banfield siding on the Washington Interurban was moved about 2,000-feet 
north to Alexander making the new siding a little more than a mile from 
Ashland Avenue  --  this then increased the next single track section to 
about 800-feet short of two miles between Alexander and Arnold!       
Donut have a date for the move.
.
Riverview Loop on Charleroi Interurban  WAS  just a loop until 1922 when 
another leg was added to make it a wye.
.
My understanding is that the Charleroi Car House was Not Always A Siding 
but took on this use later but I don't have any date for this as well.
.
The 37-Loop around the admin building didn't exist until 1948;  it was 
an elongated wye before that!
