I remember seeing yellow stop signs up in to the 80s so they weren't all changed out over night.

@Jovet: Thanks for the information about the traffic signs. :)

Another picture of the route (that's what it's all about in the first place. ;)) The CCW bridge over the Milwaukee Road east of Charles City is completed.

The photographer needed a bit of luck to catch this train crossing.

The route itself is now almost complete. Engine number 300 and a box engine are still to be built. Then I can provide the route. :)

A great body of work! I'm a bit rusty with my traction knowledge, but was it the CCW that owned a platform observation trolley?

Anyway, congratulations on a wonderful looking route and equipment. The #50 looks great. :thumbup3: :thumbup3:
