Signs
Signs can announce a station to arriving passengers and to their communities. The signs can be railroad-branded or simpler, but they often reveal the vision that somebody has (or had) for a railroad company or a station that serves it. Some signs are also consigned to history. Perhaps Dallas’s mini sign should be as well; until then, not everything’s bigger in Texas.
