Need Help - No Trespassing Sign

[NW Mailing List]

This drawing also answers the question about the significance  of the 
"31215".  You'll see many instances in many contexts of the  pattern number 
appearing somewhere in a casting.  Truck frames may be the  best-known example, 
but as this shows, it's a common practice.

This cast iron no trespassing sign was acquired  at the train show in 
Gaithersburg, MD.  The sign measures 8" H x 14" W  and has an identifying number 
of "31215" in the lower right corner. I've  never seen one like this before, 
even in photos from the N&W era. Where  would a sign like this have been 
found? Any information is  appreciated.
