Dan's right. When I was at school at Stevens in Hoboken, I went down to photograph the "stuff" at the Terminal. And Dan's exactly
right - they did go to the trouble of repainting it green with a dulux number (but no roadname). Interestingly enough, while it
said "3408" on the side, there was a hastily-stencilled "9999" on the end?

Here are my shots from circa 1990 at Hoboken.
