I apologize in advance if I made the signal lights the wrong colors. I did the best I could matching up these old lights, and I'm hoping I placed it correctly.
The train in this image is unknown, different sites have it pegged as a 4-4-0 (which means nothing to me), made in the civil war period, then fixed up to modern standards. Older wood burning trains, are usually more colorful (as coal was filthy, they stopped coloring in the older trains because they would blacken anyway)
So on this, I gave it brighter colors. I matched the best I could anyway, the train car colors, at least for this period of time. The signal man flag colors, I do believe were green (according to the toy I looked at), but they could also be white. In the gray version, they seem too dark to be white.
The tunnel part, had some very dark details, but there was enough to get a general idea of shapes. Enough to color it in, you can see the crowd and people getting off the train.
Presently this location is a parking lot.
