Posted by El-Train on Sat Dec 11 15:58:55 2010, in response to Sutphin Blvd/Archer Ave, before the decay, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Sat Dec 11 12:51:14 2010. I actually do recall seeing this signage a couple of times over the years when using the station. Only a handful, myabe 1 or 2 remained/remain. The fact that: 1)LIRR is mentioned and 2) the sign was illuminated by the backlight (they loved doing that in circa-'80's subway work apparently, look at 179th/Jamaica's turnstile area from this same photo collection, which looks similar to the renovation 137th/City College received in it's turnstile area) caught my eye.If the line was completed by 1984, then why did it take all the way into the tail end of 1988 for trains before trains started running through it? BTW, I'm loving these new set of photos. For years now I've been clamoring to see photos on the circa-'80's subway. |
