Reply to "train murals on buildings...."

This is a mural that was done as a tribute to Frank the Trainman in San Diego. The mural was not part of the original building that stood at this location, the new building was built by Mission Fed Credit Union. The mural was done by a local artist with the help of students from what was Roosevelt Junior High at that time. However in the upper right corner is the original animated neon sign that was part of the original building. The neon sign is supposedly the 4th oldest animated neon sign in the country. Can't say that this is true but I have been told that it is considered a historical landmark.

Almost willing to bet that any train nut in San Diego is familiar with this building, a few of us might even remember the original building and Frank.
