For Ore Service Between Joanna Cornwall and Bethlehem - examples of HTc 63610, 64408, 64533, 64507, 64496 from photos in my collection.

When did the HTc enter the Joanna picture? I have seen a photo marked 5/5/67 with two HTc's on the "newly built shaker tower" So I surmise this is their era for that service. (Was that on here somewhere)

I wonder what the target total is. There were about 5800 HTc??
Are we looking for 50, 100 a 1000? just curious.
