That's obvious - the 50 was also based in Tunnel Then.
.
But what about 1945-1950.   """As I Already Said"""   the curves to and 
from the tunnel for the 32 were added sometime during / after the War - 
before that the X-Over just north of the P&LE stop was used for the 32 
to get to and from route.      I don't know if the turns to and from 
E.Carson existed at that time, either - with the 50 assigned elsewhere, 
they probably didn't - they had to be cut in.
