Hi Mark!!!

Believe that is Very Close To the date of the opening of the ramp.       
Still  --  PCCs and Jones cars before that traveled to Saw Mill, then up 
Warrington, and then into the yard near Palm Garden.       Get off on 
Warrington and walk over  --  way too much trouble to do all that 
transferring.       But if absolutely necessary, go to SHJ and take the 
42 outbound.
