The Griffith Park Miniature Streamlined Railroad recently installed a block semaphore signal system to add authenticity. On hand to throw the switch was Mary Jane Saunders, 6 year old co-star of Bob Hope in "Sorroful Jones", Mr. W. J. Fox and Mr. M. L. Kilburn, both of the Union Pacific R.R. The trainmen marveled at the perfection of the pint-sized signal system. Photo dated: July 4, 1949.
