I believe that a large number of depots had the 48″ buzzsaw, if it would fit on the wall that was nearest to the main road. If not on the wall, on the roof slope, or somewhere that it would be visible to the public. Before then, many depots had a large buzzsaw painted directly on the wall, but by the 60s the Scotchlite decal mounted on metal became the normal practice.
As an aside, the extended bay window cabooses that were new in the early 70s had a 48″ buzzsaw (as did the later ones, until the screaming eagle took over). I was a cutting-edge present-day modeler in the early 70s, so I bought a Champ O scale diesel locomotive decal set to get the 48″ HO decals for the caboose that I kitbashed from an Athearn.
