Thanks for the new items.  Sorry it took me so long to get around the adding them to the full list.

I have added them to the list and will be posting it to the original thread in a few minutes, after I have gotten the on-line files updated.  My post there will bump that thread to the top again for everyone to find it.

As usual, I shifted a few of your coords to center the lat/lon on the site as I see it on Google Earth.

Funny how I had already found roundhouses close to some of the Transfer tables you have added, but I did not see the transfer tables at that time.  Guess I was just not atuned to seeing them.

I also was quite surprised to see the concentration of Transfer Tables in two of those places... you could almost shuffle a train of cars like a deck of playing cards!
