I thought that PRCo rerouted cars during the rush hours thru Mt Lebanon
, sending some outbound cars deadhead that way in the AM rush to prevent
inbound cars from bunching up at turnouts on the Overbrook section
waiting for more cars than actually were needed on the interurban. The
reverse was thought by me to be in effect in the evening rush hour where
inbound cars were diverted via Mt Lebanon. This was related to me when I
rode the line in 57-58 by a motorman on the car I was on. Is this fact
or fiction ?? Sounds plausible and a way around the Overbrook bottleneck
