Not a Double Crossover Dual Single Slip

A complex piece of trackwork I am working on. Its a double crossover with two double slip switches at one end. Trying to figure out what to call it is a subject of debate around here….

Bronx map overlay

1942 vs. Today

click on image for larger version….

An interesting composition sent to me by Anton Torstensson of Sweden, combining the 1942 map with a satellite image of the same area.

I am surprised how well it lines up with all the major landmarks. Visible in the centre is the Bronx Terminal and to the upper center is the Harlem Transfer. A similar combination can be found here.

Thanks for the contribution Anton.
