Well, there were around some older R-10 roll signs printed in 1948 that still did have the "Fulton St/Lefferts Blvd" reading on the front, along with those that had said "Fulton St/Euclid Av". There are a few photos seen on the Transit Museum photo archive of new R-10's delivered to 207th Street Yard signed up for the latter terminal that I had mentioned above.It could be a possibility that the BoT, when they ordered and received the R-10's as new, that they were in the planning process to extend the IND Fulton Street line beyond Euclid Avenue. Although, most commonly seen that there were many, many R-10 front roll signs, along with the R-1/9's, with those as "Fulton/Lefferts Blvd" (without the "St" after Fulton) as perhaps new add-on's stitched to the roller curtains or as simply replacements. To whit, two examples... R-10 #3208, 207th Street, IND "A" line, 10/5/1975. R-10 + R-4 #714, Rockaway Boulevard, IND "A" line, 7/16/1967. -William A. Padron ["K2-588"] |
