That's true but Joe V is talking about the pre Chrystie assignment of the R-16s to the GG in 1966. I doubt that any R-16s during that period showed up on the RR/4 Av lcl since at the time there were only a very small number of R-16s with Southern Div signs and these carried the old BMT route numbers. The GG signs were spliced into the Eastern Div signs that most of the R-16s had. Some time after Nov 1967 when Chrystie went into effect, the R-16s were transferred off the QJ route and assigned to the RR/4 Av lcl and while they had RR side and end signs spliced into the route signs, and Astoria spliced into the upper destination rolls, the lower destination signs had black on white stickers pasted onto the sign windows that read "95 St." |
