	Short answer - NO!   Library and Drake only interlined on Sunday  --  don't know why they
didn't do that on Saturday.
	Could have been a fantrip special!

	Also, there is a possibility of working a foreign-line on one trip, early Am pull out or
later pull-in.   But as far as all--day interline, No!   And the 38-line was combined with
the 42 in 1962--1963 on a permanent basis with that portion on W.-Liberty-Ave abandoned.

	The 42- and 38-lines were combined for Owl service at least since WW-2 and that lasted
until the lines werte combined on a permanent basis.  Five Owl trips from 
Fifth--and--*Wood*  at 2--minutes past the hours of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5!
