Other way around. Rocky Point (EE50) is straight at its east end (see 38 of the August 2011 Railfan & Railroad or page 43 of the June 1995 R&R)and has maybe the slightest hint of starting into a 10-degree curve at its west end. Pedee (EE52)has very pronounced 10-degree curves at both ends, most notably its west end (page 51 of the June 1995 R&R or page 139 of Fred Hyde's "The Milwaukee Road"). Jim's photo was taken from the north side of Pedee, which diminishes the appearance of curvature.
