[PRCo] Re: Car barn assignments

[Fred Schneider]

Boris,

I do not know precisely which routes went back to Carrick when it  
reopened during the war, nor do I know if they all went back to  
Tunnel when it closed the second time.    There are always peripheral  
routes which might logically wind up somewhere else.   Route 50, for  
example, logically belongs to Tunnel or Carrick but at one time or  
another was a Craft Avenue route.    Carson Street might have gone to  
Craft simply because it once had its own barn at 30th and Carson and  
when it closed there were too many cars to squeeze into any Tunnel,  
which might have been more logical.

Problem is, route cars cease about 1944 and after that we have no  
continuous record of barn assignments.
