Trivia Questions for Old--Timers !!!!!!!!!!!

[Fred Schneider]

Have no idea.  You should note however that the company had 202 DE low floor
cars, part of the 100 4700s (It took a long while to get them all
delivered).  Other than that the fleet had a lot of high floor cars plus
hundreds and hundreds of single truck open and closed cars.   

The interurbans had 3600s and the new 3700-3714 group.  I'm not sure when
the four W&C cars because freight cars, they may still have been running.  I
would imagine, however, that there was very limited rush service on the
inner end ... the area beyond the tunnel did not develop until years later.
If you were to look at the very busy 38 and 42 lines, at that time they ran
very infrequently because no one lived there.  South of Mount Washington was
farm country punctuated by a few mine patches like Simmons, Mine 3, and so
forth.

Of course, Jim, the route cards at Arden do show some of that information
you want.
