RFP 4-8-4 #613 - "Automatic Train Control"         
Here is another view of the front of the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Northern showing the "Automatic Train Control" sign on the front. Developed by Union Switch & Signal for the PRR, it was an early attempt at in-cab signals along the simplistic idea of the modern Postive Train Control. No date or photographer was listed for this photo.
