[PRCo] Re: Drake Loop

In 1953 was all service on the Interurban lines provided by PCC cars or were there any of the older interurban cars still being used?

south of Walther stop and north of Drake loop opened before the line 
to Washington was abandoned, and service in the spring of 1953 was 
reduced from half hourly to hourly between Drake and Washington. 
Alternating cars ran only to Drake wye.

Without trying to be boorish, Jerry, and I recognize you were off the 
list for a while, this was discussed in the past and the dates of the 
loop and the wye are somewhere in the permanent file of messages 
where they can be retrieved if you need them.

About the same time Chareroi was also reduced to hourly beyond West 
Library loop.
