Track Elimination.
Plan 1I-TTack changes:
Quadruple tracks are eliminated as
In Plan l. Tracks are built in H
street from Fourteenth to Thirteenth
street, in Thirteenth from H to F.
with connection at Thirteenth and
+ streets, making possible a left turn
into F street.
There is no track whatsoever in
Fifteenth street south of G street.
The G street track is extended from
the present terminal near Fifteenth
street and connected with the Fiji
teenth street track.
Eleventh street is double tracked to
Pennsylvania avenue and connected
with the Pennsylvania avenue tracks,
but there is no Eleventh street loop.
Otherwise the changes are the same as
Plan I.
Rerouting: In Plan II the Ten
nellytown- -Brookland routing, the Co.
lumbia line routing to Cabin John,
Potomac Heights and Potomac Park
and the Georgia avenue and Seventh
street service remain practically the
same as in Plan I. The major routing
change in Plan II is connecting the
RoSslyn territory with the Maryland
line
The Chevy Chase line is then routed
via Connecticut avenue southeast to
replace the service now provided in
that section by the Rosslyn line.
The Fourteenth street service is di-
vided into three parts, two of which
operates to Eighth and F streets
northeast and the Navy Yard, re-
spectively, as at present, while the
third operates directly south to the
Bureau of Engraving.
The Eleventh street lines is con-
nected with Anacostia instead of loop
ing downtown as in Plan /.
The New Jersey avenue line follows
the same route as in Plan l, but ter
inmates at First and E streets south
east, instead of Eighth and G streets
as in Plan l.
The Florida avenue line continues
west on U street as in Plan l, but
operates all the way to the Rock
Creek loop instead of terminating at
Eleventh street as in Plan /.
Changes Suggested.
Plan III: Track changes.
Practically the same as in plan l,
except that there is no Eleventh
sire Jop. A single track is built
in Eleventh street south of E street
and connects with the Pennsylvania
avenue track eastbound.
Rerouting: The routing of the
RoSSlyn- n-Seventeenth street and Penn
sylvania avenue southeast, the Mount
Pleasant East Capitol, Mount Pleas
ant Thirteenth and D streets, Four
teenth and Colorado-Eight and F.
streets northeast, Fourteenth and
Decatur Navy Yard, Maryland line
and the New Jersey avenue line re-
mains the same as at present except
for deviations of a block or two made
necessary by track changes in the
congested section.
The Tennallytown-Br -Brookland line
and that of the Columbia line rout-
ingS to Cabin John, Potomac Heights
and Potomac Park are incorporated
in this plan, as in the two preceding
plans.
In this plan the Chevy Chase serv-
ice operates via Connecticut avenue,
Fifteenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue instead to a new loop at
Sixth street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. instead of operating via Eleventh
street as in plan /.
The Eleventh street line instead of
a part of the Fourteenth street line
is operated to Anacostia. This is
returning to a routing combination
which has been in effect for several
years except that in the new plan
the line will operate via Pennsylvania
avenue rather than via G street and
the Union Station.
The New Jersey avenue line remains
the same as In plan 2, that is, operat-
ing from Rock Greek loop to First
and E streets southeast and the
Florida avenue linz, as in plan 2,
operates from the navy yard west on
U street and the Rock Greek loop.

sidered are Seventeenth and I. Six
