use as reference, to help them see how it used to look. I have a few, but if
anyone out there has anything they'd like to share that I can forward to

original appearance with "ERIE" lettering restored.  I have also suggested
some "replica"  Erie and EL promotional signs and some other railroad
related ideas that will make it look much better.
