As you can tell it wasn't a very sunny day when I took the picture. I'll have to go back on a nicer day and get a better picture, I think that reflective paint the DOT uses on signs does funny things with the camera. And to answer earlier questions, (...)

(...) The sign was probably re-painted. There is some amount of turnover of these (groups get all charged up to do the work, and then the dedicated folks leave the group or whatever), so in all likelyhood, the sign has been repainted. The lighting (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) It's such a blindingly obvious fake! Even at first glance, why is there compression fringing around the 'Adopt a Highway' text, but absolutely none around the NGLTC? Not only that but the NGLTC text has perfect regular anti-aliasing, which you (...) (23 years ago, 23-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
