In 2007 I rode and followed along the Route 15. I have run across a couple of photos for that visit that I can not determine where they were taken. The 15 is double track, but I have photos of one of the cars making a 90 degree turn onto a narrow street lined with cars, clearly single track. I am guessing this was one of the loops, but would like some conformation. Is there any single track sections or more likely a separated ROW for one track away from the other? Or are the loops the only likely place? Photo is on another computer so it will take a little effort to post here, but I can if need be. Here is hoping this description is enough.
