As I remember the sign read to Manhattan, Astoria and Flushing. The inclusion of "Flushing" rather than "Corona" means it is post 1928. |

I think that sign came from 111St. I know that there were several signs there until til sometime mid January 2015 when the MTA replaced the sign on all three staircases. I know there was a sign there that read To Manhattan and Flushing on the south staircase there that was expose from 2011 to it replacement in 2015. here a photo of one possible location of the sign. You can see the original sign under the current one. |

When the Flushing line opened up for business, the overhead staircase signs on all stations said TO MANHATTAN on top line & TO CORONA on the bottom . This was to indicate service to Alburtis Ave when it was the last stop. When the line was extended to Main St in 1927 or so, all station signs had TO CORONA painted over with CORONA and FLUSHING added. The original sign above the Alburtis Ave staircase read MUNICIPAL RAILWAY TO MANHATTAN when it was the last stop on the line. The TO MANHATTAN AND FLUSHING were on the 111st & Willets PT staircases after the extention. |

He overcharges for everything,If people will pay it, then what's the problem? and rips up rollsigns.You can't win them all. It's his money. Sounds like he's a smart businessman and not some foamy foamer. |
