If you carefully look at the intersection on Google maps you can see cracking of asphalt outlining a nice curve of the tracks buried below grade.

Note Richfield Co. as station behind PCC. This is the “R” part of ARCO gas stations; the “A” is for Atlantic Oil Co., Phila. PA. Until approx. 1960 Chet Huntley was the “Richfield Reporter” on KFI (NBC affiliate) who came on at 1000 PM every night. NBC brought him to New York in early 60’s and partnered him with David Brinkley for the national NBC News “Huntley-Brinkley Report”; Huntley was from Montana, Brinkley from No. Caro. CHEERS!
Make that “…gas station…”. CHEERS!
