I picked this up recently because it was a photo that intrigued me. When I asked the shop owner about it he had no clue as to the contents/context of it.
There are plenty of people scratching their heads trying to figure this one out.
Apparently it is from Pompton Lakes as shown on the train. The train/engine isn't actually a real one as it is curbside near a pharmacy and there are no tracks. So that leans towards a parade/presentation device. Naturally the main focus is the four men wearing the white coveralls with skulls and crossbones on them. The "legion" type caps they are wearing suggest an organized group. Also, the visible letters behind the dark suited man (2nd from the left) give us "HOCK" to the left and "PS" to the right.
I thought, others suggested as well, that possible they spell out "Shock Troops" or "Shock Corps". Those terms don't return any results relevant to Pompton Lakes or the uniformed men.
Can we figure this one out? I plan to make an appointment with the Pompton Lakes Historical Society one of these days to pay them a visit.
