Re: Are the 190's number boards mounted wrong?

I just checked my Erie / Erie Lackawanna books; they indeed did use the small numberboards to show the locomotive number, as was intended by Alco's designers. The Santa Fe did not use these small numberboards, and I was incorrect in saying that they did. Apparently Santa Fe felt, as did many other RRs, that the unit number was not very visible in these small numberboards.
By my previous post I was only trying to show that Doyle McCormack is aware of the history of his PA by saving the original numberboards, just in case...
To OPie, I now realize you take great joy in skewering me at every opportunity; I also acknowledge that nothing I say will be correct by you, so here goes : It's Tuesday.
