Not sure what night Dennis took those pictures.

The amazing thing was that on Wednesday night ... the night of the  
school bus demolition derby at the fair grounds ... PTM was running a  
12 minute headway with second sections on every other trip ... six  
cars in service at one time.   The museum handle one thousand, one  
hundred (1,100) passengers in three hours time.

It was sedate during the day Friday when I worked.   The most I had  
on one car was 40 people.
