rfortyslant Posted July 6, 2008 Share #1 Posted July 6, 2008 have you ever seen any mistakes on a subway car and route? for example, a long time ago, when i was about 6 i saw an train with out the usual black "R" in the yellow circle. Instead i saw a white "R" in a brown diamond. is this supposed to happen? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken S. Posted July 6, 2008 Share #2 Posted July 6, 2008 Certain trains ran up the Nassau Street Line to I believe it was Chambers Street. Those trains used the brown R diamond so someone wouldn't get on the Nassau when they wanted the Broadway . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7LineFan Posted July 6, 2008 Share #3 Posted July 6, 2008 Well, what Ken S. Said is true. However, the brown doesn't exist anymore, so today it is either a mistake or laziness on the part of the person who changes the rollsigns. It's not like someone would mistake it for a Nassau line train though; there is only one train in the whole system, so I guess it really doesn't matter as all you really need to pay attention to is the letter. I did see the brown once, on the rear end of an R46 consist in the Queens Boulevard corridor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7LineFan Posted July 6, 2008 Share #10 Posted July 6, 2008 Classic example. A (Q6) sign is clearly visible in the front window, and if you look closely in the side window you can see a (Qx) sign.

UlmerPark B6 Posted July 6, 2008 Share #15 Posted July 6, 2008 what wver happened to the (Qx)? and whats the do? 1.
