	PRCo had Arrival and Departure clocks on most of the lines.   On the 42-Dormont, the
arrival clock was outbound nearside Biltmore, no passenger stop.   Inbound, the 42-car
left the wye and stopped about 2-3 car-lengths down the hill.   I thought it strange to
make the extra stops rather than include the clocks with a normal stop.
	Believe it was the same at Clearview loop but here they were integrated with the stops 
--   outbound before making the loop and inbound before leaving it.
	Don't remember any such things on the interurban lines!   None at all!
