Greetings!
This URL http://gelwood.railfan.net/other/lightrail/pat-1676r.jpg shows
the P&LE Canopy. It appears as though there were stairs leading down to
the railroad tracks so one might assume that P&LE built the canopy.
The sign under the clock reads *Eastern Standard Time.* The railroads
*in-the-good-old-days* always ran on standard time so if this canopy was
owned and maintained by P&LE, then I assume that this clock remained on
Standard time 365-days a year - at least thru the end of PRCo and
probably into the next decade!
Good assumption or No?!?!
