Glen:
I have a set of track alignment charts dated 2/10/1967 that agree 
with the information that Russ provided in an earlier e-mail, namely:
...
...
YL 53.005 GT-SAVMP ;
MP 53.31 end GT-SAVMP ;
MP 142.33 AUR-SAV ;
Plum River Bridge at MP 142.35  ;
MP142.89 begin Aur. Div. LX LINE  ;
...
...

Unfortunately, the alignment diagram provides no more detail other 
than the switch in question is indeed on the east/south side of Plum 
River bridge.

Paul
