Rush Hour Trippers  --  more people riding locally but not going all the 
way to Charleroi  --  one or two trips only went as far as 
Riverview.     If people wanted to go further they would have to 
transfer here to whatever would take them to their final 
destination.     Same as 37-Shannon trippers which, in later years, 
operated in rush hours only.     People going further could wait for the 
appropriate car to transfer.
