I never noticed that Mobilgas sign --- which may place this a bit later in time than I had originally thought.Mobilgas was the trademark of Socony, f/k/a Standard Oil of New York. Most Socony stations were in NY and New England, so that at least makes it likely the location is somewhere in the Northeast.

How we watch that little engine as it stalks across the plain; was there ever music sweeter, was there ever sight completer, than the coming of the train?
