1926 topographic map of Tuscaloosa

Screenshot of part of a PDF downloaded from the USGS map store. Click to enlarge.

Notice an additional rail line crossing the L&N, that I forgot to include on my map that I made with MS paint. This was the electric street railway. I have since edited that map to show it.

Tuscaloosa rail map

The explanation I tried to give about the abandoned tracks in Tuscaloosa in my last post probably makes more sense if you look at this map. Click the map to enlarge it.

For reference, this is the photo of the “approximate photo location”:

The main reference for the location of the street railway is here.
