Greetings!
Basically, a fan-trip could go anywhere and sometimes went where it
shouldn't!!(:->)
PRCo was a very large system right up to the end of PRCo and it would
be extremely difficult to cover everything, actually impossible. Photo
stops consume definite time. Charters often were planned around a
theme, district, or special emphasis. But as hints and rumors of
abandonment arose, those lines would be specifically covered, even
multiple times.
As word of the 56-line abandonment leaked out, that line was definitely
included and was used as an excuse for a fantrip!
