I like to admire the graffiti on the cars these days.  When I was little my mom would drive into town for whatever.  I'd wait in the car (kids were safe back then).  When a train passed buy I'd always wave to the caboose.  I don't know why, it must have been something in a book that said you should wave to the caboose.  Once a guy on the back of the caboose waved back.  I was so excited.  I said, "Mommy, the caboose waved back!"  She wasn't impressed.  I don't even remember the Burma Shave signs.  I remember my parents talking about them, though.

Back before PC South of the Border used to have a ton of signs on 301 north and south. Me and sis used to read those aloud on our trips from NY to FL.

cool....ever sit held up at a train crossing gate and count the cars???.....oh and they all had a caboose back when too.....

Never did that. The caboose was an EOT. Now it's a red light on the last car.
