Bracamonte Posted October 30, 2014 Share #1 Posted October 30, 2014 As of October 18th, 2014, the old solari board at New Haven Union Station has been replaced by a new LED display that shows not only train departures, but arrivals as well, just like in an airport. The solari board has been donated to the Danbury Railway Museum. However, the other stations I know of that still have working solari boards are Newark Penn Station, Secaucus Junction, and Trenton. http://www.nhregister.com/lifestyle/20141021/new-haven-train-station-updated-with-led-departure-boards This photo was taken back in May, never knowing that this would be the last time I photographed the old board.

Tokkemon Posted October 31, 2014 Share #4 Posted October 31, 2014 At least Trenton and 30th Street, Philadelphia still have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QM1to6Ave Posted November 2, 2014 Share #5 Posted November 2, 2014 At least Trenton and 30th Street, Philadelphia still have them. I find the one at 30th Street in Philly is too small to be useful from a distance. I like the stations besides for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted November 2, 2014 Share #7 Posted November 2, 2014 I almost did not get to see the Solari board in person, but after a hastily booked bus trip from Boston after Thanksgiving last year (long story short: My vacation experience was going south and everything BOS-NYC direct was sold out, I cut the vacation short and did Megabus BOS-NHV and MNR NHV-NYC last minute) I at least got the pleasure of seeing the board for myself. I went back to New Haven in January and took this pic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
