the primer.

PRR

Flangers were RR snowplows: blades between the trucks could be lowered to railhead level, and a lower section between the inner rail flangeways cleared snow below the railhead. the blade had to be raised over switches, grade crossings, etc. The PRR had trackside markers for the operators.
I found a foundry in Pennsylvania that made a number of cast
iron signs for different railroads, this one was for the Pennsylvania
Railroad.
These are the last of the Originals I have.
NOTE my first couple of PRR signs, I'm selling on E-bay, where never
shipped to the PRR! I got these from a cawl-space in a foundry about 29 years ago. Had
over 200 of them at that time.
I found a lot of molds and original casting in the old foundry warehouse. We have over
$500,000 in railroad items. We also have a two railroad bridges, RR tunnel, station and 13
RR cabooses at http://trackman.com/bridge
I'll be selling the extras on E-Bay
The weight of each cast iron Whistle Sign is 25.5 lbs. Shipping and handling is $25.00 @
