	As Ed pointed out, actual survey was done about 1903.    Wonder how
they had that accuracy for all those relief lines?    Amazing what they
accomplished.
	There are 2-survey periods for Charleroi - 1904 and 1931 - neither one
shows the Interurban.    *Maybe*  small amount From south of Charleroi
to Allenport but at Charleroi the line appears to join the RR but to
Allenport winds across 88!
	Nice drawing of Charleroi from Shannon to Finleyville!
