<div dir="ltr"><div>Jim,<br><br></div>Interesting is that by April 18, 1976 the service was much better under PATransit. Attached is the April 18, 1976 PATransit Route 35 timetable. Lots of additional service including express cars running non-stop on sections of the route (they were, of course, limited in speed by the signal system and single track in Overbrook) and Shoppers Trips running inbound on Smithfield/Liberty/Wood. Still a 30-minute "base" headway, however, the base period is not as long as in 1953. School and rush hour service starts earlier and runs later and more frequently.<br>

Non-rush hour service on Rt. 37 had ended before that schedule was operative. When that occurred the Shannon-Charleroi or Shannon-Washington roll signs started appearing, to designate cars that made all local stops between the Triangle and Castle Shannon. Certain interurban rush hour trips operated "board only" between SHJ and Frederick Street outbound after that, and I think, but am not sure, the opposite inbound.<br>
<br>
I am pretty sure that the rush hour cars diverted from the 37 routing used 42/38 rather than traversing West Liberty Avenue. But I would not make book on this point!<br>

Enclosed is a copy of the LIBRARY Schedule the day after service to<br>
Charleroi Terminated. Apparently the Castle Shannon service continues<br>
-- whether or not interlined with Library I do not know at this point.<br>
Washington service is hourly with hourly cars from Drake wye near<br>
Walthers stop, drake cars 30-min after a Washington car, by schedule.<br>
<br>
Castle Shannon had Owl service as well -- those times marked with an<br>
asterisk* left IB from Castle Shannon or OB to Castle Shannon from<br>
downtown Pgh.<br>
<br>
Castle Shannon cars used the 38-Mt.Lebanon outbound in the morning rush<br>
and inbound in the evening rush to lessen congestion through the single<br>
track. The two extra sidings (McKinley Park and Edgebrook) were added<br>
"about this time" but may not have been installed by the time Washington<br>
Interurban service ended late-August-1953.<br>
