[CBQ] Re: Mile Post/Signal Mast number colors

Not a reply to Glen's question, but another question for Glen. I know the GN 
and NP used a very deep metallic purple for their signal mast numbers. Did they 
do the same for mile post markers? Same question for the Q -- were mile post 
markers and signal mast markers all white on black, or mix-and-match (white on 
black for mile posts, white on dark purple for signal masts)? Anyone know why 
this apparently different set of color choices came about?

"I will put down the informal history of the shirt-sleeve multitude," says Inez 
Mischitz. "What they had to say about their jobs, love affairs, vittles, 
sprees, scrapes and and sorrows. The oral history is a great hodgepodge and 
kitchen midden of hearsay. A repository of jabber. An omnium-gatherum of 
bushwah, gab, palaver, hogwash, flap-doodle and malarkey. The fruit of more 
than 20,000 conversations. What people say is history, what we used to think 
was history, is only formal history, and largely false. I will put down the 
informal history or I will perish in the attempt."
