Re: A Set of R62A's Try to Answer an Age-old Question on the 7 Line, posted by South Brooklyn Railway on Mon Oct 1 18:54:51 2007. I wrote a few posts back: "In order to make the LCDs bigger, they would have needed to...figure out a way to install them in the blacked out area of the window." The LCDs look to be currently right up against the blacked out area. So without moving into that area, they can not mount them any higher. |

I saw one in the morning, Manhattan-Bound local. In the afternoon I decided to wait 2 hours for one. About 12 7 trains passed and I didn't see any with them. |

Playing the role of Car 2154 in today's consist is car 1969. Car 1969 is NOT fitted with LED signs. On Tuesday, October 2, 2007, at 18:01, the train was observed going northbound, leaving 46th Street station. Be on the lookout. |

They come either in the little round dot shape, or the long bar shape. That's what the old LED clocks used. |

An Express close-up  Here's the observation. When I saw the Express train, (and it certainly was an Express), only the FIRST CAR showed EXP. The rest of the cars (except 1969, of course) had their LCL signs lit. |

You can put any colored LED display on the rollsign and people will still put their body on the door, asking any peep inside the car if this train is a LCL or EXP. |
