Good Point, John!

Strictly rush hours even while Charleroi and Washington were still in 
service  --  thus the  SHANNON--CHARLEROI  and  SHANNON--WASHINGTON  
designations.       These two interurban used to run in tandem, hour and 
half-hour from Pgh., and ran Limited through Overbrook.       Once  
SHANNON  was added to the sign, then the cars ran local and local 37 
service was rush hour only.
