More of what Ed asked for, I don't have any large signal structures.

Here's a scene from a different day, but same location of my previous post:

The signal bridge at the yard entrance on the Boothbay Railway Village layout.

Show me another signal bridge or a signal tower, or train order signal.

A good friend, formerly the General Manager of this real railroad, sent me some custom-made decals for a 50' KJRR outside-post boxcar.  While he knew that I'm modelling a time well-before those cars were around, he also knew that I'd come up with something suitable.
While I used-up almost two sets of the lettering on each of two cars (all of the dimensional data needed to be changed to suit the smaller Tichy UP/SP-style refrigerator cars), I think they turned out fairly well...

The real Kiski, however, didn't own any revenue freight cars.

Show me something else in red, please.
