What week are you asking?   In later years 705 and 706 worked  
Fairchance.  Assignments may have had a lot to do with what tax  
licenses might have paid on which cars in which boroughs and we have  
records of which towns had taxes and which cars were licensed, if  
any.   But this could have been a consideration.   Before those 700s  
were reworked for one-man service in the early 1940s, 800s worked  
Fairchance.   I have a picture of 831 on the line.  Prior to that  
possibly low 200s.

1931 car house roster.

Yes.   All routes had assigned cars.
