I take it a train crew could be reprimanded for having inaccurate roll signs (which, argue the routing all you want, this is. The doesn't exist anymore). Although with the number of inaccurate signs I see on a daily basis, maybe not. Or maybe it's just a matter of the bullet being confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As cool as it is to see that, pilot's right. Those of us who either never grew up with the or don't know that it existed (especially tourists) would be like WTF. And speaking of inaccurate signs, have any crews been reprimanded for using <R>? And how many crews actually do get reprimanded for this kind of stuff?

People will ***** their heads off about sign changing when there is so much worse out there. Please, don't be a hero. Don't give me the martyr bit and saving the day stuff too. I am an employee and it's my business to see to it the signs are correct. Part of my JOB responsibilitles. I worked at 168 for several years relaying trains and got sick and tired of correcting signs on that car and several others with the old sign crank that could be manipulated by people who should be minding their own business. The C line gets lots of tourists and I don't want them to be confused with conflicting signs. These old sign boxes were out back in due to vandalism of the old ones, so it's not a question of car equipment putting back in "modern" ones because transit won't buy them. 2 or more wrongs don't make a right. Nobody has a right to touch these except the transit worker setting them up. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayBuffer Posted November 16, 2009 Share #20 Posted November 16, 2009 Things have CHANGED, there is no longer a route in the NYCTS anymore than the is the West End or to Astoria. They shouldn't be signed as anything other than what the crews are instructed to sign them as, which in this case is a to WTC. No, it's not up for debate.
