Posted by wcfan4ever on Monday, November 8, 2004 12:30 PM I have heard this so many times before. Sometimes, you could ask if he/she works for the railroad and if they say yes, ask for proof.
All the stuff that me and my father have was all purchased legally for a railroad employee, including, a crossing w/bell and lights, five crossbucks (two marbled), two advanced warning signs (one ordered from company), many mileposts, (S)-Slow Board, speed limit signs, 2-stage block signal...oh man, i could go on forever. Nothing was ever stolen or boughten from a rail-show.
