Don, to verify that, I was on the committee to raise money for the caboose. The Rock Island heritage had been obliterated on the exterior, but was...
So much to think about on the 1903 map. Looking at Andre's 2011 post, the assumed trolley line does look like part of a loop from the line in...
And the answer is yes. They are the first sheets in the pdf version that was posted.
I've not been on the site a lot lately, and looking around got me back on this thread. There was no date on the package of diagrams that I got...
