Basic service on 56 in 1960 was 20-min weekdays; 10-12-min PM rush;  
40-min evenings after 7-PM from Pirl and from about 8-PM from 
town.       Sat headway is 24-min and Sunday is 40-min.       Three cars 
at the loop is more than likely PM rush, otherwise just 2-cars if that..

And this is a nice one on the 56:
