[PRCo] Re: Dormont Junction Wye

[John Swindler]

I would be curious, Herb, if you could relate how some of your runs were put 
together.  For instance, on that swing run, what did you do for the am 
peak??  One trip or two??

And the real memory challenge would be to inquire about time spent for each 
piece of work and what the run paid.  By chance, have you keep any records 
of the runs you operated during your PAT days????
