6 and 15 were never combined.  The number was 13.

Time frame of late 1950s.  Maybe I saw it on a public timetable.  Maybe on a
PERC article in Trolley Fare.  Maybe comment overheard.  Afterall Jim, that
was forty plus years ago.  Was hoping someone else's better memory or
references would correct/clarify my vague recollection.

As for crossovers on 10/15 near West View, in our era they were used as
run-around tracks.  On Sundays, fantrip cars could run-around a regular
service car that was laying over.  Also good occasion for a photo stop with
two cars next to each other.  But what about during weekdays???  Did PRC
station a car at this crossover location to put 15 cars back on schedule
during rush hours or to store rt. 10 cars for West View closure???

I must plead ignorance for schedule operation during weekdays on northside.
