>>>HrB responded: >>>1. 5 minutes . SHJ to CS?!?! Certainly not if you
caughtRed Boards. 5-min would mean you made it through all sidings without
interruption as well. That would seem Almost Impossible. >>>2. often (block
signals kept cars apart) . Given - Catching Red Board same as Catching
Leader>>>3. as fast as the traffic could bear >>>4. why would I do that
?????They pay us by the hour ;-) >>>Yes, Jim they did have 35-Library
Express. Not In Question, Herb, Have some schedules!! :-> . 'They' iz
({[pat]}) Until about 1950 this was very much standard operation on PRCo -
Interurbans to Charleroi // Washington did normal loop downtown, ran Very
Limited SHJ to CS At All Times All Day then operated locally outbound of CS
wye/loop. By late 50 early 1951, PCCs sported Shannon- Char or Wash and ran
locally whole length of line. >>>They also had 36-Drake Express. >>>It did
not work as well as the 35 and >>>was replaced by a bus. >>>Ask Harold
Geissenheimer, >>>he is the one who started that service. >>Jim Holland
