	As Fred mentioned, after 1963 it was used for rush hour trippers signed 
42--DORMONT   ---   not unlike trippers signed  43--NEELD.   Don't know when the
wye was discontinued.   Probably kept until the line was shut down for
rebuilding.

	Maybe one of the photos of Bill's that John will post in the future will show
the line-up of cars all the way down across Biltmore waiting to get into and out
of the wye in the rush hour!!
