Would complement my DC Transit PCC headsign roll cuirrently displaying36th & Prospect NW major kudos to both NYC who sells these things directly, and Chicago who donates them to the two nearby museums to sell them.

Too bad most of those destination readings are useless now... If I could lay my hands on a large format inkjet printer along with the necessary ink and about 200' 3 mil opaque white mylar I would print a roll with all of the version 7 destinations on it, terminals, short turns and selected other stations with the strip maps.
