Trolley sign at P&LE station

[Bob Rathke]

Derick uploaded one of my photos to the website.  Go to:

<http://trolley.dementia.org/brathke>, and scroll down to "PLEsign.JPG".

This is a photo that I took on 10/10/65 under the canopy at the P&LE
station.  It shows the trolley route sign on the east - city bound -
side of the canopy.  The light reflection obliterates a few words:
"PENNSYLVANIA STATION" in the first line, and "DRAKE" in the second
line.

Some questions:

1. I don't recall an "Outbound Cars" sign on the west side of the
canopy.  Does anyone know if such a sign was there too?

2. Was there a trolley route sign at the old B&O station at the north
end of the Smithfield St. Bridge?  I have numerous interior and exterior
photos of the B&O station, and many signs are visible, but no trolley
route sign.

3. There was a trolley route sign (much like the P&LE sign) at the
waiting canopy at the PRR station on Liberty Ave.  Does anyone know what
happened to this sign - and the P&LE sign?
