Lots of the signs around here (Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma) say "look out for the cars" even today. I asked my dad about it once and he said it meant railroad cars.

wow, railroad cars...didn't know that was the name..
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. This is a very old sign, with holdover language from an even earlier period. I've been researching the early years of rail and find that in the 1850s and 60s you didn't "take a train" like we do today; you "went in the cars."
