Posted by zac on Sat Apr 25 09:23:18 2020, in response to Re: Tuscarora Dispatch No. 31 - R-40 / R-42 Roll SIgns, posted by randyo on Fri Apr 24 17:19:05 2020. What I never understood was why weren't the Chrystie St designations already in place on the signs. It wasn't as if they didn't know it was coming. Of course, they were still making route changes up to the last minute before it opened, and some like the NX or QJ probably weren't anticipated. But as far as the R32 goes, not putting the branches on gave it some flexibility. If say the T was needed for a line that ran on Broadway from Astoria to Whitehall, they could use it even though it never went on the West End. But that brings up another question, why didn't they reuse the T? Why did they go with W? Even when that train became the West End for a while during the bridge closure?And I don't understand why they didn't put the B on the R32, or knowing it wasn't there, designate the new train as the BB? Instead, they pasted a black B on a white background over the white BB on the black background. I have the sign used in the R16s and 27s that includes all the missing combinations. I posted it here not that long ago, but here goes again on the magic carpet:  |
