"How stupid to assign cars to a yard and not order all the route signs for that yard."A prime example of that was on the Flushing Line in 1963-64 when R-33ML cars were sent to Corona.They all lacked the #7 and Main St. Flushing destinations on their roll signs. This was during the transition period when the lines R-12/14/15s were sent to the mainline while while accepting the R33/36WF at the time. Hastily installed white cardboard signs with black lettering were used. This was during the transition period when the lines R-12/14/15s were sent to the mainline while while accepting the R33/36WF at the time. While they didn't just replace the older equiptment with the new on a train by train basis & leave the R33ML's on the main line I could never understand. |
