R142 LCD Notation

[Mr. UTZ]

...ok before you move this over to IRT, i ask a question about R160's at the end so please dont

 

alright so as many of you already know there are storage tracks where they hold the between Utica and Sutter Avenues. so one day i was on my way to Utica, and as im passing those storage tracks on the i see one of the R142 layed up saying

 

Broadway Local

 

thats all i can see as my train roared on ahead, but naturally i was excited because i love rollsigns and seeing a new one on the train makes me

 

so now yesterday im going to utica again, and i see another R142 (i dont know if it was the same one, too dark to see car number) and i see

 

Willets Pt- Shea

Flushing EXP

 

and i was like :cool: especially since i saw the diamond in red.

 

So my questions are:

 

1) Does anyone know all of the LCD notations for each line? Like I was surprised when the said Broadway Local instead of 7 Ave Local....but then again my train moving too fast....

 

2) Anyone know of any special notations that we wouldnt see otherwise? I've only made one other thread, and i talked abt how saw the VIA PELHAM LINE

 

3) Does the R142 carry IND/BMT signs? Does the R46/R160 carry IRT signs?

I know for a fact the R46 can at least display numbers in the biggest square where the route letter should be because on day at W4th street a messed up sign that pushed everything to the left. It was like

(J)amiaca- 179th st

ave/ 63st lcl

(Q)ueens Blvd Exp

 

Any answers would be very much appreciated!! Thank you!:cool:

3) No, the A Division's trains don't carry B Division signs. They were made for the A Division. The B division's trains do not carry A division stuff......... That messed up sign was just an error....

 

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Gotcha for some of them. The bullets are just numbers on the actual sign. When I say "can also," the substitute sign replaces the other one.

Why this one displays "Pelham Lcl" I don't know.

 

Those are the ones I know off of the top of my head. Feel free to correct them if needed. You won't see B Div on A Div trains or vice-versa. I don't think the trains even have enough memory for that.

[Mr. UTZ]

WOW Thank you very much!!!!!

 

I love rollsigns, I actually wanted to do a project on rollsigns. Like, I would take a picture of each sign of the LCD and use photoshop to manipulate the letters and make it into some of the lesser seen rollsigns. an example would be:

 

2: Wakefield - 241st

4: Bronx Exp

4: Lexington Ave Exp

4: Woodlawn

 

i could take out letters from each

 

4: Bedford Pk Blvd

 

but everytime i tried to take a picture, the glare would be so wide i could never actually use them :cry:

 

 

anyway, do you know anything about the 4 via pelham line? i dont even know what thats a sign on the computer.

 

and in a random thought, i was saw a to Gun Hill Rd. gotta love rollsigns:cool:

Actually, those are called "LEDs" not roll signs. Roll signs are signs with a big scroll behind it which carries multiple things and they're not computerized.
