I've not yet seen answers to a couple of Mark's questions:
Yes, the cross street is Virginia.
Single- & double-track: My topo map dated 1931 shows double-track up Woodruff
to just short of Kearsarge, thence single into and along Virginia with a block-
long passing loop between Shiloh and Wyoming, along with the single connecting
curve shown in the photo.
>From Virginia, single-track south on Wyoming to just before Bailey, thence
double-track around the corner and onward to a double-track crossover terminus
at the Castle Shannon North incline station.
Now, a question of my own: I can't make out any track across Shiloh in the
earlier photo, though you can see a remnant of it in the Roberta Hill picture.
If that track is shown on a 1931 map it ought to be in a 1929 photo, right? -
at least if the map was properly updated.
I've assumed that the 33 was cut back to the West End because of construction
of the Saw Mill Run Parkway and that until then it had always continued on to
Bailey Avenue terminus. Any reason to doubt this?
