Ubiquitous sign is posted wherever crew work between massive engines and cars, a dangerous job.

A sign from a bygone era - when women were not allowed to work on maintaining steam trains - this sign and several others like it adorned the Niles Canyon Railway maintenance yard. (More pictures at http://flickr.com/photos/damead/sets/72157600122278360/
The railway offers rides on early 20th century locomotive-powered passenger trains on a short route. http://www.ncry.org/
Since women participate in this organization, perhaps they'll have to repaint their signs as well. But they are a sign of an historic time in American transportation.
