Date: 11/14/17 08:10 Re: BSB in Denver Author: jbohdan2 I have often wondered, and never thought to ask, but does anyone know how the newly-fledged BN handled the disposition of the rather unique metal signage with the new GN corporate logo and name that were affixed to handrails as seen in the SD shot? Did they just junk them? They would have made an excellent collectible but I have never seen one on the Railroadiana "aftermarket".

And the steel cutters hadn't done a nice smooth job around the edges, so picking it up with anything other than leather gloves was not a good idea.

Had to wonder why so fast and what happened to them. I would have liked one to put on the side of my house, similar to the Izzak Walton Inn.

Date: 11/14/17 23:05 Re: BSB in Denver Author: ln844south I was able to get one of the BSB signs. It was a fiberglass sign in a steel backed frame. Don't know if it came off a locomotive or an auto rack.
