Posted by gbs on Fri Apr 24 03:29:24 2020, in response to Tuscarora Dispatch No. 31 - R-40 / R-42 Roll SIgns, posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Thu Apr 23 12:37:48 2020. When the R40 slants first came in 1967 and were assigned to Jamaica, they had only E and F signs (and S), but not GG. Soon after their arrival they were used on the GG on weekends, cut into 4-car trains (with the conductor in a 1/3 configuration). But there were no GG signs, so the huge sign up front showed either the S or a half-half combination or blank. How stupid to assign cars to a yard and not order all the route signs for that yard. When the R40Ms arrived later, they did include both GG (green) and EE (orange) signs.
