People learned how to deal with the way the system was back then because they didn't have any choice. You, me or anyone else had no way of knowing how many folks got on wrong trains due to not enough or misunderstanding information based on side signs. Apparently, someone at the BoT got the brilliant idea of having front end destination signs on all new equiptment in an attempt to reduce the number of misrouted passengers.My guess is that if there wasn't a need for more information, they wouldn't have spent the $$$ needed to have front end route & destination signs in the first place. This reminds me of how many crusty old school motormen hated the idea of speedometers in their cabs. Any motorman worth his salt would be able to judge speed without them was their attitude. Thats progress I guess, better information & better safety. |
