To note: US44 ChaSt = I-84 "50" = US6 I-84(50)
Not quite -- more of a
~= maybe?
I-84 & US6 have this point centered on Trumbull St, since that's where the half-diamond ramps connect.
US44 is centered on Main St , as it's already left I-84 back east, and turns here after traveling west on the frontage road.
US44 I-84(50) = I-84 "51" = US6 I-84(51)
Is this because of the location of the westbound Main St (US44) exit?
Yes.
So did I drive US44 and can't claim I-84 since I exited eastbound at Main St.
Not sure I'm parsing this correctly...
I take this to mean driving US44, eastbound, then leaving via Main St, I.E. the
ChaSt waypoint.
Crossing over I-84, but not entering it yet.
(and then re-entered at "Exit 50 westbound" Columbus Blvd.)?
Here's where I get lost a bit... OK, re-entering (I-84 / US6) at the eastbound counterpart to "Exit 50 westbound", the EB onramp that connects from Columbus.
IIUC, you did not leave US44 at all here; rather, you traveled
CT US44 TruSt ChaSt, then turned left onto South Morgan, and traveled
CT US44 ChaSt I-84(50), then continued on US44, entering an I-84/US6/US44 multiplex.
You won't be able to claim I-84 west of exit
51, as US44 is on the frontage roads (and ramps) and not I-84 itself. East of exit
51, you'll be credited for all three routes if any one of them is entered into your .list file.

I-84@51&US6@I-84(51)&I-91@32A&US44@I-84(50) and then click on that line in the table, then hit the + key 5 or 6 times to zoom in.
The I-84/91 interchange will be highlighted in red i the center of the graph. East of there, the magenta line carries three routes: US44,I-84,US6. West of there, we see a green line (two routes, I-84,US6) overlaid atop a blue line (one route, US44).
Use the mouse wheel to zoom in far enough near the
US44@ChaSt point, and you'll see the lines start to diverge. The green line represents I-84 & US6 on the freeway mainline, while the blue line represents US44 via the center "median" between the two frontage roads.
