[Holland Electric Rwy. Op. H.E.R.O. -- Import SPTC 1.48 Models // James B. Holland]

I use Bob Dietrich's Naming for the trackage now  --  leaves one without

Appears this Mystery Track was part of the original alignment  --  then 
more yard tracks added and the revenue trackage for 38, 39, 42 moved a 
little further East!
