Far Rock Depot Posted January 12, 2011 Share #101 Posted January 12, 2011 Nope, both the R110A and R110B sit as dead as doors nails. I remember seeing a rollsign for the R110B floating around somewhere, it has some interesting things on it. Were those interesting things including destinations under the route bullets? like Far Rockaway via JFK? I like the fact they were designed with LCD signs, like the one above the scroll signs on the 110B, that displayed the run's call letters for towers to see. The one i rode frequently was "A0727" which was the 7:27 am out of Lefferts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy Posted January 12, 2011 Share #102 Posted January 12, 2011 Ah OK "mosaic like design" I know what you're talking about now. This: Yeah I remember those too. The 7 page brochure I have discussed the entire R110 program in brief (it did not distinguish between the R110A and the R110B). It featured large pictures of the trains and short quotes from various TA employees, along with small pictures of the employees quoted. Each quote was about a paragraph or so just discussing how the cars were "new and improved". Perhaps someday if I have a lot of downtime I'll post it but not today since I've got quite a few things to do later today/tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were cool and something the TA should have gone with on the R44/46 signs, but I though the 6th Av orange A and the gray K for the Canarsie line were alot cooler.

THat one! i have 3 copies of those from when i went to the public display of 91. And yeah, thats the design. LOL Those were cool and something the TA should have gone with on the R44/46 signs, but I though the 6th Av orange A and the gray K for the Canarsie line were alot cooler. Now the Gray K ive seen in older roll signs. the orange A is a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted January 12, 2011 Share #105 Posted January 12, 2011 Now the Gray K ive seen in older roll signs. the orange A is a new one. Only the R110B had a gray K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far Rock Depot Posted January 12, 2011 Share #106 Posted January 12, 2011 Only the R110B had a gray K. Trust me, ive seen the gray K before the 110s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing a rollsign for the R110B floating around somewhere, it has some interesting things on it. Do you need power to operate the front rollsigns, or can they be manually operated?

Far Rock Depot Posted January 12, 2011 Share #109 Posted January 12, 2011 On what trains? pre GOH 30s 40s and 44s, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted January 12, 2011 Share #110 Posted January 12, 2011 pre GOH 30s 40s and 44s, That makes sense, those would have been replacement signs. The gray K on the R110Bs was a Canarsie skip stop service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sertsert Posted November 28, 2017 Share #111 Posted November 28, 2017 Does anyone have any information about the delivery of these cars? I know they arrived on ship in 1992 but would love to know more about how they got to the city, where they were assembled, etc. Thanks to all in advance.
