DX Local Train Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share #26 Posted July 1, 2009 It's not that these people are lying to you, it's just that they have misleading information which they edit Wikipedia with. so teh pix they have there of the 11 is a lie or something? like its not true? Don't the R62 signs have alot of unused numbers, I think they have 10 tru 14 in red or green. Yea i herd That 10-green 11-purple 12-green 13-red 14-green The 8 on the R62 signs was supposeldy designated for the , and it was probably 10 or 14 that was designated for some sort of 4 special (maybe to Flatbush). But they're not going with double numbers now, and the digital signs on the 142's won't fit them Are you Sure About That Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric B Posted July 2, 2009 Share #36 Posted July 2, 2009 so teh pix they have there of the 11 is a lie or something? like its not true?

But they're not going with double numbers now, and the digital signs on the 142's won't fit them Are you Sure About That If you're asking about the double numbers, the signs are not a solid "screen" of LED's (like the ones on the 110A's were). All it consists of is the circular array of LED's, interlaced with the diamond array, and the square alphanumeric field, with space inbetween. The square fits the single character just perfectly. So to have double numbers (or letters), you would have to make them thinner; really thinner (both the total character width and the thickness of the lines maing it up), and then they wouldn't be legible. If you were asking about the 8 replacing the , someone came out with a list of designations. Plus it would make sense. It would have to be of the green letters. And the purple "11" could only be in one place. And since 8 is close to 6, it made the most sense. It's not really set in stone, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1447 Posted July 2, 2009 Share #38 Posted July 2, 2009 But Why dont they just make the the 8...it doesent sound so hard Hard to ans but ill try Maybe Becuz they split the Pelham Local which ends at Parkchester during AM/PM hrs. The how ever heads to Pelham Bay, which turns back into a Lcl(PM South Bound). Similar to the , but the is the Flushing Express, which makes the The Flushing Local from TSQ to Main St. Im guessing also cuz the (8) was the 3rd avenue El(Which it was) and by 1973, the (NYCT) discontinued the (8). ANd its unused. Doesnt the TA have to fund for using an unused letter or number in the system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maserati7200 Posted July 4, 2009 Share #47 Posted July 4, 2009 As far as I'm concerned, we don't need any new route designation. Just because you would like to see a 8 bullet, doesn't mean we need it. And about the express program, if it works out, just use this: , no need for a 8 bullet.
