Then, the next screw up, was with the R40s

The screw up was felt immediately. The first R40s to arrive were assigned to Jamaica Yard, and came with only 4 front signs: blank, E, F, and S. During the week they ran on the E and F, so no problem, but on the weekends they were split into smaller trains and ran on the GG, without proper signs, so they displayed either blank, half-half, or S, all of which were inappropriate.

Later they ran on other lines, also without proper signs. Talk about incompetence!

Even after the front hardware was added, the signs were still missing.

This was corrected with the R40Ms later in 1969:
