"Does anyone know the purpose of the caboose?" Er, I meant to type
"wye". Sorry. Too much cold medicine, too little sleep.
Also, if you want to be able to pan to different parts of the map, go
to www.terraserver.com and type in "Vermont, IL" in the search
dialogue box in the upper-left portion of the home page. When the
listings for Vermont, IL comes up, choose the 1/1/1947 entry.
