Does anyone have an idea of what year the two extra sets of tracks were removed? I would guess around the 1930's...... Maybe postcards from the time would indicate an accurate date for track removal and road expansion.
Post number 1 from this thread with a 1933 image shows the three rails but I do not know when they were removed.
