I hear you, Rick. David Doyle does an outstanding job in finding fresh content for his HMV articles and books. He's also Publications Director for the MVPA.

Unless the signal lights were removed on purpose... Looks to me that the first image may be a straight still in service in 1969. The image with the soldier minesweeping on Route 1 also appears to be a straight in-country as of 1967.

I think they still had straights there when I was there in 71.I don't remember seeing turn signals on some of them and I always remember how that caught my attention. They did not take them out of service if they still ran and moved. Sometimes I think stopping was optional.I never rode in them, I flew over them.
