[NW Mailing List]

Marty, here’s the photo that Larry is referring to. It is one of many beautiful photos in Bill Gordon’s collection, with steam locomotion spanning the middle fifties to the very early sixties:

I'm 90% certain the picture is in color.  I also want to say it is not in a book you would expect it to be; perhaps a generic mine book rather than N&W.  If anyone knows the picture I am thinking of or any other pictures of this sign, please let me know.
