This is an interesting stop on the line - destined to expand outward in time. To some it might seem like a trivial matter destined for the tidbits page, but to others, it is a source of endless fascination: THE DESTINATION SIGN.

As a child, one could always find fascination in the Destination signs of transit vehicles -as they displayed points that were often unfamiliar at that time: "POINT BREEZE," "DUNDALK," "TOWSON," and "CARNEY" are just a drop in the bucket of the many names worn by transit vehicles in their careers in Charm City.

This will be the spot to come- to learn just what was on those old signs carried by the vehicles you remembered in your youth, and perhaps even the vehicles of today:
