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.
