Glen..I don't know where you live, but I'm wondering what it would take to get a copy of that 1920's Wymore ETT??? If you're going to be at the Spring Meet this weekend and could have a copy for me I would be glad to pay you whatever the going rate is...plus a bit more for said copy... If you're not going to be at the meet and would be willing to make a copy and send it to me I'll pay all costs. I have one original copy of a 1940 Wymore TT and a copy of a 1943 Wymore..and would be glad to work out a trade with you if you are interested in either or both of these.

I have three dates of alignment charts other than those of the mid to late 1960's. One is from 1960, and is part of a complete set from Denver to Chicago. One is from 1951 (I think, I am not at home and it might be 1953), and is part of a complete set
from St. Paul to Chicago. The last one is from 1930-31, and I think it is complete for Aurora to Chicago. I received this last one from Russ Strodtz on a CD, and I could not get some of the sheets to open. This earliest one was part of a complete set from
Galesburg to Chicago.
Russ was pretty protective of his information, but he is still around. I would guess that he still has this information, and we might be able to have him burn another copy of those old alignment charts. They are invaluable for showing things like the 4th
Main from Downers Grove to Eola, and the alternate alignment around the north side of Western Avenue (although the 1951 set I have shows that as well).
For what it's worth, I also have an Ottumwa Division from before 1960 (I don't remember the exact date), a Creston Division from about 1944, and a Wymore Division from the late 20's.

The only one I have is from the CD collection that Steve Holding offered and they date from the mid-1960s.
