Only time I ever saw this was after ({[pat]}) took over and then because 
there was a car change out. Sending the 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 42 behind 
the admin building would confuse one large set of passengers. Even have 
photos of cars displaying Charleroi or Washington making relief On The Main.

In fact, it is in the video PTM put out a decade or so ago.

Once moved to tunnel all these cars would have to pull out and pull in here 
of course but it would be very strange for a motorman to pull out a car for 
a relief and then have to meet the relief car and transfer passengers. It 
would seem that All Reliefs would be on the road unless a car change out was

needed for some reason.
