My favorite Pittsburgh fantrip sign in the 60's  was, "Malfunction Junction".

I love your example Ken. Â  And wait until they get a picture of the car coming out of Sous Hills Tunnel with the sign GOTHAM CITY VIA BAT CAVE. Â  Â I have been told that sign was left in the car after the fantrip and that some motormen used it in lieu of rolling up CAR HOUSE. Â
