Could you please give an approximate date for:::   """until the very 
end?"""       I would  *-guess-*  that this might be post WW2  --  then 
equipment wear out and line closings would see equipment shifted around 
rather frequently!       If a general roster of Car Barn and Route 
Assignments exists for the decades before the end, it would be nice to 
have this if it isn't any trouble.

286-297 seemed to be used on the Irwin, Trafford, and Dickerson Run lines.

Photo of 724 at Dickerson is in PRMA WP pub pg.23.
