The following photos are of
a sign that was on the entrance to the elevated Culver Shuttle station
at 13th. Avenue in Brooklyn. |

In 1990, I drove to Alaska and stopped in Watson Lake in the Yukon territory of Canada. Watson Lake is famous for "Sign Post Forest", a collection of signs from all over the world that was started during World War II as the Alaska highway was under construction. |

Since then travelers stopping there have been bringing signs from their hometowns to mount on wooden poles. I mounted my Culver Shuttle sign there in 1990, then headed back to Brooklyn. |

In 2001, I decided to go back to Watson Lake to see if my sign was still there. At first I could not find the sign, as it had been moved, but after a bit of searching there it was! The sign was in pretty good condition after being outside in the Yukon for 11 years. |

The sign has now returned home to Brooklyn NY. |
