Re: Retired R46's

I remember those colored route roll signs on the R-16/32/38. They had by-then defunct routes such as JJ (orange) and TT (dark blue), at the same time they had KK (dark blue) - and the proposed-but-never-placed-in-service 6th-Myrtle MM (green). Two variations existed - one struck by Transign in April 1969, with their own in-house font (called "Transign Standard") used for the route letters (and with TT after RR but before SS); and the other by Trans-Lite in July of that year with the TA's default Standard Medium type (and SS before TT). One wonders what an IRT version of that type of roll sign might have looked like, and what fonts on one sign maker's or another's, plus all the numbers 1 through 8 used.
