Old PRCo route numbers

[Edward H. Lybarger]

We have the original route history cards in the PTM library.  They need
someone to come and work with them!  The late Ollie Miller condensed a lot
of material from them and laboriously put it on a database for an Apple II.
We have his floppies, and fortunately have an Apple II (it was my first
computer) on which to read them.  Volunteers?

The following doesn't answer Ken's question, but I thought I'd put it forth
in
preliminary form. It's a list of internal PRCo 3-digit route numbers from
the
Arnold report of 1910, discussed earlier in this thread.

I hope soon to include also information about headways, mileages and peak-
hour car assignments, but chew on this for the moment.

As Ed pointed out earlier, the system is based upon operating districts.
Note that numbers were given to such as the Butler interurban lines using
PRCo rails. And be aware also, that a number of the routes shown were
peak-hour only. I'm not even sure of the identity of all of them.
