I remember as a kid, seeing a BMT Standard for the first time at the 65th st Sta with my folks. My first thought was how does anybody know where the train goes??There were no destination signs on the front end. Having been on the Flushing line several times, I was used to seeing the big 7 in one window & Times Square in the other on the front end of the R-12. I have to guess that the passengers knew when they saw the GG, Smith-9th St on the front end of the R 1/9, they knew they weren't getting on a BMT train They knew they were on a BMT train based on what they did'nt see! BTW, I never saw a Triplex running to/from Continental Ave. |
