Saw that same type sticker on a CN boxcar, said "TO BE REPAIRED AT HOME SHOPS DO NOT LOAD"

Some nice shots there. The Amtrak sign was hand lettered, don't see that much anymore.
Notice the R's, Every sign painter had his own distinctive way of doing their letters.
Now its all cut vinyl. Took the challenge out of the trade.
Glad i'm getting ready to retire.
