Re: [PHOTOS] Some More Odds & Ends

The problem with the R-40s through 46s is that for some reason the so called brains at the NYCTA and MTA wanted the roll signs to be able to provide a strip map of the lines the trains were on and failed to realize that the NYCTA lines were quite intertwined with each other unlike lines in other cities (except for Chicago) which were completely separate. When the R-62s were being designed, it was like pulling teeth to get the MTA suits to finally do away with the strip maps on the cars and allow 3 piece signage for flexibility.
