Weird. Never seen a missing roll sign.

This was very common during 2001 during the time the Manhattan Bridge Split happened. Many of the (W)s R68A had missing rollsigns at the time.

It's been like this for years. The next car, 5133, is also missing a rollsign.

They might be experimenting with LED signs in the future for R68s

Where did you hear that?

When I sent in a suggestion for digital signs, they said there were no coupler pins left for that. (They they added door enablers).

I really wished they could/would add digital signs, especially for the (. Single hand controllers as well.

I'v seen quite a few 68A's with missing roll signs, I think 5126 still has it missing. It's really no big deal.
