	In the late 1940s, and until late June for Charleroi and late August for Washington in
1953, the interurbans still ran to Washington and Charleroi.   And until 1951 or possibly
a little later, the Washington and Charleroi interurbans ran in tandem leaving downtown on
the hour and half hour.   No interlining here that I know of.

	And from Library and Drake days through the end of PRCo, the only interlining I know of
is on Sunday.   What  ({[pat]})  did from 1964 on I do not know.   I would have thought
that Saturdays and evenings would be interlined, but Mon thru Friday in PRCo days there
was no interlining.

	John Swindler has already indicated that the only interlining was on Sunday as well.
