Thank you Mr.Swindler and Mr.Lybarger.  I am aware of the single track on the 42 from Biltmore to Potomac aren't I.  I believe I found the map of the 42-wye in the archives here where it reveals this area as a large passing siding doesn't it.  Still seems strange to list 2 lines as Beechview.

My father claims to have ridden the Charleroi Interurban through Dormont but he was also known for telling stories wasn't he.
