Chris sent me this JPG in Nov-2012 detailing the assignments and
headway on the Interurban Cars early in 1949.<br>
<br>
Note the 37/L has a 1-minute headway in the morning rush with
21-cars needed to fill this. Whether all cars were every minute
from Shannon or that was split with Library is not known by me. I
would suspect most of the cars would leave from Shannon or more cars
would be needed. The 1-minute headway is only for a 'relatively'
short period of time when demand would be highest to get people
downtown before 8-AM Start-Work-Time! The Shannon and Library cars
were interlined making one trip on one line, next trip on the other.<br>
<br>
Base service on 37/L is 15-min with 5-cars! This "suggests" all
service is on the 37 as 1+hour is needed to make a round trip.<br>
<br>
PM-service is every 2-minutes as times going home are more spread
out for whatever reason -- dinner out after work, shopping,
partying, etc!<br>
<br>
Evening is 15-min and 5-cars with one "Owl."<br>
<br>
Charleroi headway is 30-min at most times of day and may have been
until last car in 1949. There were times in history when hourly was
instituted after 9-10-PM. 9-cars are needed for base Charleroi
service, 4-from SHJ and 5-from Charleroi.<br>
<br>
Washington service was every 30-min requiring 7-cars-base with
4-from SHJ and 3-Washington.<br>
<br>
This IS a Very Interesting Picture into an aspect of PRCo
Operations.<br>
