Three {{convert|55|ft|1|adj=on}} McKeen cars were purchased, but the large cars proved unsatisfactory; they were replaced by two smaller Fairbanks-Morse cars.[3] References1. ^{{cite journal|title=Woodstock-Sycamore Line Quits|journal=Electric Railway Journal|date=April 27, 1918|volume=51|issue=17|page=827}} 2. ^{{Hilton-Interurban}} 3. ^1 {{cite book|title=McGraw Electric Railway List|author=McGraw-Hill Company, Inc.|publisher=McGraw-Hill Company, Inc.|location=New York|year=1918|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ti1LTNR5f3sC}} 4. ^{{cite journal|title=Construction News|journal=Electric Railway Review|date=February 8, 1908|volume=XIX|issue=6|page=190}} 5. ^{{cite journal|title=Construction Notes|journal=Street Railway Journal|date=April 25, 1908|volume=XXXI|issue=17|page=710|url=https://archive.org/stream/streetrailwayjo311908newy#page/710/mode/1up/search/DeKalb|accessdate=April 24, 2018}} External links
