I found some of the remnants you found. Didn't find the nice stone culvert near Finch. Do you notice how the railroad is depicted as curving north just south of Ridgebury? That's perfectly accurate. If you go to the curve, now between Benson Road and Ridgeway Road, you'll find two things. One, is a tiny culvert, maybe 1' wide, carrying water from under Ridgeway to the creek with no name that passes closest to Ridgeway. It's lined up at an angle with the curve of the trolley.<br /><br />Second is the culvert for said creek underneath Benson. If you look on the south side, it's a concrete tube. If you look on the north side, it's a stone culvert that is angling away from the route of Benson, but perpendicular to the curve of the railroad.<br /><br />Sure enough, if you look through the concrete tube, you see it meets up with the stone culvert.Russ Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17586083637805291834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512907930430148230.post-67389462670807588122017-02-10T07:23:22.077-08:002017-02-10T07:23:22.077-08:00Beautiful :-)Beautiful :-)Rich Coffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393911346958078094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512907930430148230.post-64037187448807387932017-02-09T20:58:42.353-08:002017-02-09T20:58:42.353-08:00Fixed, thanks.Fixed, thanks.Russ Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17586083637805291834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512907930430148230.post-7474135091432997862017-01-30T16:50:18.339-08:002017-01-30T16:50:18.339-08:00Thanks Russ - I guess to be a perfectionist it sho...Thanks Russ - I guess to be a perfectionist it should parallel George Washington Highway - not merge :-)<br />Rich Coffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393911346958078094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512907930430148230.post-58227240178150801982017-01-30T09:59:54.992-08:002017-01-30T09:59:54.992-08:00This is the route of the trolley line as best I...This is the route of the trolley line as best I've been able to determine it: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1430631Russ Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17586083637805291834noreply@blogger.com
