Posted by gbs on Wed Dec 4 01:10:59 2019, in response to Re: Andy's Almanac - December 1, posted by randyo on Tue Dec 3 17:18:49 2019. The drawing of the R40 prototype that appeared on the back of the 1966 subway map did in fact show the destination ("Queens Plaza") above the large rectangular letter ("E"), but it was just an artist's (mis-)conception. As delivered there was only the letter and EXP/LOCAL above the storm door (later removed).   The R40Ms came with just the letter (but with a very handsome front design).  Front destination signs are very important on certain lines such as the Queens-bound A, with three possible end points.
