There was an intriquing layout at Graham (between Otisville & Port) in the ealy 1900s;

L to R : The original bed is the 2 middle lines (what I'm going to call tracks 2 & 3) that went up hill north into Otisville. Circa 1908 the new, lower-elevation line went in (far left: 'track 1') and thru the new Otisville tunnel. But there was a 4th track (far right, 'track 4') that curved off to the right, running under the original elevation, then curving back to pair with the track 1.

At least that's my assumption, since the Otisville Tunnel clearly is wide enough for 2 tracks. I've looked thru the gallery where the above 2 pics came from thoroughly, and what I'd like to further learn is the specific track layout WRT switches both north & south of this area. ANother pic shows 3 tracks running south, at least thru the first curve south of Graham. Does anyone have any schematics for this era / area or can point me toward them? Thanks.
