Water 1 Mile Sign

This sign was placed one mile from and on the right hand side of the track approaching a mainline water station. The original version had a short post cast into the bottom of the sign. It would then be bolted onto a main vertical post. The sign and post weighed a combined 143 pounds and were placed between 9' and 13' from the rail. This version was introduced in 1948 and was bolted to a post via four bolt holes drilled into the back of the sign. Weight of the sign itself was 37 pounds.
