Wow. Is this in the middle of nowhere or off a major road? Nice find. Smile

It's Just South of Gladewater,Texas on US Highway 271 which technically could be considered a major road but there's not much traffic on it these days.

Looks like half of the canopy is gone and the 8' fluorescents are gutted. Sad

Pop a ladder against the sign and you will find some cool old NST units, and probably some working lamps as well.

Park there in a utility truck and you will be invisible. I can guarantee you that. There are some subbies that are into a sideline of cable theft, using a bucket truck with Metro markings. They operate with impunity, as they all have the same trucks.

Hmm, for the price it costs to rent a bucket truck, I don't think it's really worth it afterthat. Neutral

Is it lighting a public or private road?

Old Gas Station Sign

the Neon Tubing on this side of the sign is missing,but there's still some on the other side,the gas station itself is Obviously Long Gone.

This was probably a small Single Owner Gas Station,you really don't see places like that too often these days,mostly Chains.
