Right.  Another was stationed at the remains of the Glenwood Car House, for 
use on Rts. 55 and 56.  Many others--I just can't recall all the locations. 
Wasn't the one at Jane Street also used on Rt 87 as needed, or am I thinking 
of a different loop contiguous to that route?

I also remember Tom Collins, but my acquaintance with him was at the local 
pub.  Knew his brother John as well.
