That method works, sort of.
When I use the PointOnLineOverlay, it breaks the lines. So like you
said I added the _counter to the Input Line Feature so I have unique
ID's on the original Line.
It goes threw the PointOnLineOverlay transform and outputs the
original single line as 2 smaller lines (broken at the point
intersetction) and both lines contain the Unique ID.
But when I run it threw the LineJoiner and use the _Counter as the
Group by, it joins the lines but does not carry over the attributes
from the Point.
My output line ends up with _Count, fme_geometry and fme_type.
The Invalid side of the LineJoiner has the attributes that were
combined from the Point and Line at the PointOnLineOverlay.
Any thoughts on that one?

Oh, and if I visualize the Invalid side of the LineJoiner, there is no
features present.
