Greetings!

	The photo I mentioned at Illinois and W. Liberty shows double track
with trolleywire contactors, possibly for signals but the contactors can
obviously be used for something else  --  what else I don't know.  Maybe
the contactors are locators to show when a car has passed.
	If you are able to get copies of these maps, I shall certainly pay my
way.  Not at all adverse to a *tarrif-surcharge* for your efforts as
well!

	THANKS!
