I think it relates most to patronage.  PRCo's peak year for passengers was
1923.  It's just a logical economic process.

So the move to one man cars was well underway before the economy hit the
tank.

How does the data reflect the changes in technology?  ie:  money vs. 
tokens, deadman controllers, self-lapping brakes, shorter work hours for
operators, & eventually PCC's?
