BOTH    frogs in this turn are for straight through  --  diverge move 
and the wheel must ride Up And Over the Rail Head at the frog  --  And 
crash down on the other side  --  On  A  Turn.       Never saw a 
trolleycar make this turn but have ridden through similar and everyone 
stopped to watch!!!
