Oh wow, yeas talk about ask and you shall receive! thank you very much Mr. Arthur. I met Glen only once at the SoCal Ry museum swap meet in 2010 along with Lee Gustafson annd Phil Serpico whom also shared my enthusiasm of those station signs. I kept in touch with Glen for a few more years online, and he provided with a loot of info to help me with my research of the old Chloride branch line in Mohave County, Arizona.

God Bless all.
