The original Frank the Trainman was Frank Cox who operated the store in the building where the big neon sign is located. Frank retired in 1981 and passed away in 1989. This sign is from when Jim Cooley moved across the street and reopened Frank the Trainman.
Jim Cooley passed away in 2019, The store is still open ,rum by the family. Since this sign was used there has been remodeling of the store signage to the current look .
I was able to purchase the sign this weekend. I am currently undecided on keeping the sign ,which I do like or selling.
