Milwaukee Road RR Caboose/Locomotive FIberglass Herald Sign

Item Details

Description

This is a Milwaukee Road Railroad fiberglass herald sign. It measures 23" x 17" and was used on both cabooses and locomotives in the 1960s. The Milwaukee Road ordered these as a cost savings measure, as opposed to the standard metal/porcelain signs, when they received their last batch of SD40-2 locomotives in the 1960s. Many faded or wore quickly in the weather, whereas this one was saved by a Milwaukee engineer and is like-new. Hard to find in this condition with vibrant red color and no damage.
