The calendar pictures sound like a great lineup.Great vintage IND sign in the above photo. What year was it taken? This one must have hung on through the mid-late 60s right, given the bus pictured in the bus stop sign, and of course the Virginia Slims ad. (a silly millimeter longer!!) Another collection of vintage NYC transit photos*, has an IND entrance in Brooklyn (at Court St. maybe?) with an original sign that says Fulton Street Subway IIRC. *don't remember the book title |

Great vintage IND sign in the above photo. What year was it taken?The date is Sept. 1975, photo by Edward P. McKernan. If you all look closely at the sign, just beneath the Independant letters. that portion of the sign was painted over and the peeling paint seems to reveal the name Roosevelt Ave ! Bill Newkirk |

Very lucky that was still around then. Wish I'd photgraphed it myself. Thanks Ed!And yeah, I was able to make out the Roosevelt Ave. name..... that's what was great about those old signs hanging on - you could still get a sense of transit history reading them. |

That sounds like a plan if I can carpool with someone. The older I get, it gets harder and harder to make a 200 mile RT in a single day. Even if I am the driver the trip is more enjoyable and having a second pair of eyes on the road is helpful. |

The old signs were chocked with info on where the trains below were headed. Now the new signs have colored bullets and the station name with plenty of vacant space for graffiti and stickers etc. :( Bill Newkirk |

Those original signs were really advertising - to encourage people to use the IND instead of the rival IRT and BMT. Of course it became irrelevant after June 1940 when the city took over the other two systems. |

Initially, the original IND 8th Avenue line from 207th Street to Chambers Street-Hudson Terminal did not have the green with white lettering entrance signs during the first year or so of service operation. Instead, they had temporary signs with stencil or painted lettering done on a background or wall, and with the "Independent System" at the heading.181st Street Station, IND 8th Avenue Line; 5/13/2005. Then, as the extensions started to open up during the calendar 1933, all of the signs were eventually installed later on all the routes operating around that time frame, including the main 8th Avenue line. In my archives, I have a color slide taken towards the original entrance for the Court Square station of the Crosstown line, and whose entry sign that read clearly included for trains going to "Roosevelt Avenue - Queens" and "Nassau Ave. - B'klyn". -William A.
