Bicentennial Caboose Question

[NW Mailing List]

Thanks to Ebay and a serious bidding war we now have a great photo of the  
Bicentennial caboose. Turns out the small text in question reads, "Happy  
Birthday America Decatur Car Shop".
 
Thanks to everyone who tried to help on this.

The  size, location and era suggest a repack stencil, but I have been 
unable to  read the words on any caboose picture I have seen.  Jim  Nichols

Subject:  Bicentennial Caboose Question

 
Gentlemen,
 

 
I am  finishing the art for a revised decal set and the only thing I am 
missing is  what this text says. This is on the lower right on both sides of 
the caboose.  I can make out the size but I can't read it. Does anyone know 
what is  says?
 

 
Thanks,
 

 
Richard  D.  Shell
