Time for some new updates.

Picked up this two-sided PRR destination sign.

Where in the Sam Hill did you find that sign? I've been trying to find PRR memorabilia from New Brunswick NJ for years. (My hometown) Lucky you. 

I have many happy memories of the New Brunswick station. I grew up in Somerville & Bridgewater, and my Dad and I would often go to NB to watch the trains go through. What a thrill to see the Metroliner and GG1s speed through. Trips to NB always included a stop at Steve Varga's Hobby Shop too--he & Dad were good friends. 

Heh, I never thought anyone would mention that name again. I wasn't alive during its time, but my father and uncles remember Steve's very fondly. NB really hasn't changed all that much.. Except for the Raritan River and subsequently Conrail leaving town.. If your ever in the area, I recommend a restaurant called Tumulty's. Train themed Irish pub.. But my father also took me to watch trains as a child. I've talked long enough. Send me an email so we can talk more if you like.
