There's already a mistake on the new signs shown in the fabrication order in the second photo. The sign for the N properly shows that late nights the Q will also be running local. But the sign for the R says that late nights you should take the N to 34th for the F. True, but it should also say you can take the Q! |

From mta.info: A major change coming up on December 7, involves the Q Subway Line Icon train, which will begin making local stops overnight in Manhattan. This service change, which affects only five Manhattan stations, nonetheless requires the creation of 200 new signs to be installed at 31 stations along the line. |

You miss the point. As I said in my previous post:The sign for the N properly shows that late nights the Q will also be running local. But the sign for the R says that late nights you should take the N to 34th for the F. True, but it should also say you can take the Q! |
