Al:

When searching for pix of the loop look for "Clearview Loop".  I do
believe that is the official railfan name for it.

I was riding that car with Jim Holland. I forget why the sign was in the
"42 
Dormont" position. Heck, Jim doesn't even remember spending the time
with 
me. :-)

If I'm not mistaken, it may have been a short turn car that was sent to
the 
end of the line due to all the traffic. It was right around Christmas
and 
perhaps all the holiday shoppers disrupted the scheduling. Maybe the 
motorman had something on his mind and didn't position the roll sign 
correctly. Or perhaps something happened at the Dormont wye, forcing the
car 
to the Mt. Lebanon loop.

Jim?

P.S.- Taken December, 1976. And car 1730, the "Sunburst Car" sure was 
squealing when it took sharp curves for some reason...or was that on my
1979 
visit? But I do recall it was very noisy on sharp curves when compared
to 
some of the other cars during one of those visits.
