Mr.Brashear;


Here is a map from 1910 that helps to explain the track configuration.
The photo above shows double track from inbound 2nd onto Brady;
the map below then shows single track on Tustin to Moultrie.  Other
maps indicate that a car could then turn to IB Forbes or 5th.  A stub
track then appears to continue on Tustin to near Seneca.

Dash lines can be seen beside the trolley tracks on the Brady bridge;
zooming indicates these dash lines reveal alignment of the trolley tracks
below the bridge.   Single track begins before the turn onto Tustin.
Brady is near the lower left of this map.

Seems many of the maps here are converted to Flash;  can't readily
save these can we.
