This weekend I went and took a bunch of Cub Scouts to the Sterling Mine Museum in Ogdensburg, NJ. It's an old NJ Zinc mine, and we got to tour the mine, and see a bunch of equipment, and some railroadania there. They even had Lionel Covered Hoppers there labeled for NJ Zinc (it really existed) and had a limited run of 300 made. They were selling for $55 bucks a pop.
Anyway, they had some other RR signs, so I thought I'd add some of the Whistle Posts they had on display:
First is pretty standard, except for the roman numeral sign underneath (multiple roads to toot for??):
The next one I would suspect is a PRR or subsidiary road Whistle Post, note the Keystone Emblem:
And last, but not least, an honest to goodness REAL WHISTLE POST!!
Pretty interesting, all the different ways to tell the guy running the loco how to do his job!!
