This clock, inside Stockyards Station in Fort Worth, has "Tarantula" in stained glass over each clock face. The Grapevine Vintage Railroad used to be called the Tarantula Steam Train. "Tarantula" was a reference to the spider-like appearance of the train routes in Fort Worth. Rumor has it that the word "tarantula" was scary to children, so they changed the name of the steam engine to "Puffy".
