501  MODERN CROSS BUCKS
Many railroads had cross bucks that easily identified the owner's track at each grade crossing location.  The Monon was no exception.  During the 1950s and 1960s the Monon upgraded their grade crossing signs with pre-printed lettering applied to painted wood boards.  These cross bucks were painted in black and red with the DANGER letters in red.  But the most outstanding feature of these "new image" cross bucks was the small "MONON, The Hoosier line" plaque added below the DANGER sign.  That made MONON cross bucks truly unique.

JOURNAL REPACK DATA/WHITE
During the era when solid bearings were in use, they were regularly inspected and "journal oil" added as needed.  When the packing that allowed the oil to wick onto the bearings was changed the date and location were stenciled on each side of the car over the right truck.  Before the new stencil could be applied, the old one was painted over with whatever paint color was available, typically black or brown.  This new paint onto which the repack data stencils were applied lead to some interesting color variations in this area.  The Journal Repack Data decal sheet has over 50 repack stencils copied directly from sides of actual freight cars.  The decal set is arranged in such a way that the repack dates are printed separately from the location data so that any date can be added to any railroad/location.  There are over 50 dates ranging from 1945 through 1971.
