Frig the sign…. the ornate pole it’s hanging onto is really really neat. Would this have been an order hoop? This looks like it’s late 19′th early 20′th century vintage.
I remember back in the 2000′s there was a Woodstock local who had a Woodstock sign on his house that was railway.. and this guy if I recall was protesting the horns of OSR at the time, so it wasn’t all that long ago. Lived near the tracks on the OSR/Turntable side of it all.
I do not recall exactly which house and I just checked google maps from the era. A couple friends should remember this in more detail and I’ll ask – I suspect that may have been *the* sign to be honest, or one of them since they were likely double sided.
My guess is that pole is a former light standard.
Look at these light standards at CN Woodstock

Awh. How observant of you. Looks like you nailed that one. To think they saved money on putting in a new post.
