meet points on the interurban lines........  What we still need in this 
equation were the motorman's relief points  It is logical to assume motorman 
marked on and off at Washington, Charleroi and Tunnel (Castle Shannon 
earlier) but we know that, like West Penn, they also made reliefs at sidings 
in route.

Question:  why would there be a relief point at a siding enroute, other then 
to put a motorman back on-time?????

Is this PRC/WP documented, or just a railfan observation???  If only the 
latter, did the railfan understand what he might have been observing??


John S., (observer of weekday 76 Hamilton cars sitting at Jane St. used to 
put late motormen back on-time).

p.s. there are a couple PAT/PRC motormen/bus operators on this list.  
Comments??  Also Harold???
