Hi Bob, I really appreciate all the photo links you are sharing from the 20’s. I will copy the billboard image from this link. Also will investigate Duke’s billboard site more. Gary Ray Magalia, CA

Duke’s advertising collection is quite good. My town of residence is pretty well covered, though unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of close-up freight car photos like this one.

Regardless, they are great for contextual details (cars, trolleys, roads, buildings and people) given that the billboard owners were trying to show how busy the location is. Lots of eyeballs! Matt Goodman Columbus, Ohio

I posted a number of billboard links from the Duke site to the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific groups as well as Sunkist billboards to my own Railroad Citrus Industry Modeling Group. Claus Schlund posted billboard links to the PRR site.
Unfortunately, these billboard examples only are available in black-and-white. On the Espee (Southern Pacific) group someone posted color versions of some of the billboards so if you are into SP and modeling their billboards, check those out. Bob Chaparro Hemet, CA
