Welcome to
ROLLSIGN GALLERY!
Showing the history of public transportation
through their destination signs, with the most
diverse and comprehensive collection online!
This site was originally designed from December 18, 2004 to February 19, 2005. Over time it
has grown with many new acquisitions, improved high resolution images, electronic destination
signs and lists, photographs, embedded YouTube videos, and a web series showing how the
historic artifacts shown are acquired from scrap yards and locations all over North America.

ROLLSIGN GALLERY is going into its 20TH YEAR ONLINE! I want to
extend a personal THANK YOU to everyone that has visited the site,
and have helped it expand and grow by purchasing memorabilia. Your
support has made Rollsign Gallery's presence expand world wide!
Rollsign Gallery's web series "Transportation Treasures" continues to grow on YouTube! Ride along
as I travel all over North America searching yards and picking locations, looking for rusty relics and
hidden treasures! - The link to the episode guide is on the homepage. DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE!
YOU CAN HELP! As you visit pages throughout the site, click or tap on some ads. Your help is FREE
(no purchases necessary), but will be a great help in covering costs and bringing new content to the site!
Banner advertising has been added to every page on the website EXCEPT for this page, the
Introduction page, and the memorial to Ray Neilson page. The revenue generated from this will
go towards the costs of keeping Rollsign Gallery online, and any surplus will go towards new material.
This site is compatible with both desktop or laptop computers and smart phones or tablets.
On smart phones or tablets, the site is best viewed with your device set to LANDSCAPE mode.

ROLLSIGN GALLERY DOES ACCEPT PHYSICAL DONATIONS TO THE HISTORIC COLLECTION!
If you have an estate that has transportation memorabilia, or just want your items or collection to go to a
good home, don't auction it all off! Consider donating it to Rollsign Gallery. Your items will be preserved
and you can have the peace of mind knowing it went to someone who appreciates it as much as you do!
