As some of you may know from a previous post i put about a week or 2 ago, I'm helping repaint a Pennsylvania Railroad caboose. Now, the leader of the project came up to me today and says he wants me to make a mile post... i said alright but then he added that it must be the latest New York Central mile post before the Penn central merger, and must be made of the same thing... must be done when the caboose is done.

So... does anyone have any pictures and have any idea what it would look like? Possibly even how to make one? It just needs to look like it with 196.8 as the mile marker.

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT!!!

Growing older is mandatory but growing up is optional.

i know what a mile post looks like, its just i don't know New York Central that well, and what was the newest thing was. Now before im kicked off for ignorance... do you know how big it would be (length, width, height?).

I don't know the dimensions of a NYC milepost, but
I'm pretty sure you can ignore the mile part.
