I have just sent several additional topo map scans to Derrick. Since
it is now 2:30 AM his time, I'd suggest not holding your breath
awaiting their appearance tonight.

Black like a man's heart?
Sorry, no can do. The scans were taken from monochromatic
Xeroxes.
As it happens, I do have the same map sheets from a few years
later and, long before receiving the 1953 copies from Ed, I had
managed to divine the course of the interurban *almost* perfectly
from the remaining cuts and embankments. But scans from these
sheets, colourful though they might be, would be less interesting
than these showing the actual railway.
Besides, comparable polychromatic scans would require files of 1
to 1.5 megabytes.
