             What was on your site was a scan of pg.31 of  
*Traction__Heritage*   Vol-1__#3  and is included as a jpg here (if not 
large enough, will manipulate the file so to do.)      Hope you can 
successfully resolve the hacking of your site.


             What's interesting is indication of the 3-aspect signal in 
front of the admin building which you have questioned before.     
Although I had noted this  Signal__#4  on the drawing before, I never 
responded.      That signal, updated to a regular traffic signal in the 
photos you have submitted, apparently showed the position of the turnout 
into the loop around the admin building so operators approaching the 
turnout could be prepared to take action   ---   MANY  trolleycars 
passed thru here daily so being prepared to keep traffic moving would be 
a must.      There was apparently a similar 3-aspect signal at the 
turnout on the loop from the 44-, 47- and 48-lines At One Time  --  
maybe this latter one didn't last until  *Modern__Times.*
