Title: Found an interesting print.
Post by: railman44 on September 12, 2009, 05:24:18 PM

The title on the bottom is "The Old Depot".  It also says "Compliments of Union Switch & Signal a division of Westinghouse..."  The artist is Poage and dated 1930.  I haven't seen one of these in many many years.  It's kind of zaney and it's full of very small details.  Original frame and glass.  Any comments or historical information?

Sounds like Mr. Poage was a one shot wonder!  Hope these help.
