[PRCo] Re: Safety Slogan

[Dietrich, Robert J.]

I'd like to verify - all safety slogans were green in color, correct.  All
I've ever seen were green and I think it was mentioned here.  I bought a set
of decals from Custom Traxx last weekend and there are three Safety slogans
included, one in bronze, one in gold, and one in silver.  I guess I'll have
to take them to the copier for a color change.

	Also have a video of a 16-interurban looping Castle Shannon admin
building - might be 1646 with "V"-front and the safety slogan on the
back!
