Posted by randyo on Thu Feb 18 17:33:17 2021, in response to Re: R1s-9s, posted by William A. Padron on Thu Feb 18 10:16:16 2021. A few interesting observations. If I recall, the IND side route signs on the R-16s did not contain the letters but carried the same readings as the R-10s but a bit larger like “Wash Hts - 8th Ave Exp,” "Wash Hts 6th Ave Lcl” etc. Th original side signs for the IRT R-17s through 36s also lacked the numbers but simply carried the rout names. Why the TA chose to but the BMT route numbers on the R-16s but not the IND letters I don’t know. The Southern Div readings on the few R-16s that had them also read differently from the readings on the R-27s and up. For example, the upper destination had readings like "57th St-Manhattan" and the lower had readings like “95th St- Ft H’ton” instead of the readings we are familiar with. |
