Did the Monarch Branch close for the winter during the war or was that a later development?"

For the winter of 1944-1945:

Monarch turn operated on December 29, 1944. Notation on sheet for December 30, 1944 reads: "Monarch broke down".

Early January 1945, on the 3rd or 4th (I see I didn't note the exact date) Monarch operations resumed and ran almost daily through January 17, 1945. On my next review I'll check to see how far beyond Janauary 17, Monarch operations lasted.
