DescriptionLinoleum block carving of a railroad crossing signpost and the signs and lights on it. At the top there are two crossed signs that read, "Railroad Crossing." Below that is a sign that says, "4 Tracks." Two lights facing one direction follow that below, with another light facing the opposite direction just visible. At the bottom is a sign that reads, "Stop On Red Signal." All of the signs are written backwards so that they would read the right way when printed.
