Thanks.  I will look in my 1949 file.  I had a hazy recollection that I had
seen a PRCo map someplace sometime.  And I will buy a PRM map if someone
will tell me how to do so.   Bill V.

	YES - I have an ERA map corrected to June of 1949 but I don't know
if
it appeared in that particular issue of *Headlights* (or whatever it was
called in those days!)  This is a very interesting map because it shows
the derails in use at that particular time.
	Ed has also mentioned the map published by the museum - these maps
complement each other.  The Museum map is larger and much more legible
and has insets for various downtown arrangements (1917 & 1959) in
addition to the three layuouts for the old and new Rankin Bridge.
