Sometimes when waiting to deadhead to Binghamton on #5 for a job, I'd wander
the halls of the scranton station. On the wall of the Mezzanine, there was
this classicsign which so typified the DL&W of Mr. Truesdales' era. I believe
it was gold leaf under glass w/maroon paint background. I'm sory for the
quality of the attachment, maybe Paul can enhance it, but as with the other
stuff, it's too good for me to keep & gloat over..share the fun!!! It reads:
BE CIVIL.
whistling, loud talking
-and all -
boisterous conduct
prohibited

You bet, guys, we're here to run a RAILROAD and a damn good one at
that!!!!!
All business, that's us. No looting the Company & screwing the stockholders &
employees. Ah for those innocent, bygone days.
regards,
Walter E. Smith
PS there was another sign I got a foto of, but I haven't found it yet.
