You are    MISQUOTING    what I said:

I HAVE AN ACTUAL PRINT IN MY HAND NOW    ----    Railroad Avenue 
Enterprises PN-12610  (cropped // unedited copy enclosed)  of 55-line  
TrolleyCar  1523  where it is a little further along than 1472 on the 55 
in RR Ave. Enterprises  PN-12609  (also I HAVE AN ACTUAL PRINT IN MY 
HAND NOW)   ---   BOTH  at  the  Shoofly  at the Rankin Bridge.       
PLEASE____NOTE    in the  Enclosed__Photo  that 1523 is facing a 
turnout  --  WHAT   can be done with this turnout is  Unknown__To__Me  
--  switchback - diversion for another line  --  Do___NOT___Know,       
B-U-T    as I indicated in my original post,    """The TrolleyCar will   
*-shortly-*  [Emphasis Added]  pull parallel to the RR tracks at Near RR 
Track Grade!     There is a turnout for the TrolleyCar at that location 
as well."""
.
The    TURNOUT    I-S    There  --  as I stated, but  N-o-t  in the 
original photo of 1472.
