Charleston Posted July 17, 2008 Share #1 Posted July 17, 2008 Back around 1982 or 1983, new desination side reading roll signs were being installed on the R27/30/32 and 38 subway cars when lines had their colors changed in 1979. But on the new rollsigns, one had read this: V(Avenue of the Americas) 6 Avenue Local My question is what was this V train supposed to be used back in the 1980's and where it was supposed to run between. Any transit workers who might know this can post up any information they may have about the V train in the 1980's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'89 Liberty MCI Posted July 17, 2008 Share #2 Posted July 17, 2008 Well it probably would have been the same you have today, except that originally when the 63rd Street tunnel was under construction they were expecting the to run there instead of the .

INDman Posted July 17, 2008 Share #3 Posted July 17, 2008 I do think it was for the service that we see today. I have an E27/30 front route sign from 1984 that has the train on it too. The started back in 2000 or so right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INDman Posted July 17, 2008 Share #6 Posted July 17, 2008 Yep, I have a sign just like that. What I think is odd though, the side signs on the R32/38 cars were ordered around 1989 and say vis 6th Avenue My sign and others are dated 1984, but I am not sure if the was on earlyer signs when they changed the system in '79.

Pablo M 201 Posted July 17, 2008 Share #7 Posted July 17, 2008 http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/show?41562 Imagine if that was put in service, that would've been something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7LineFan Posted July 18, 2008 Share #8 Posted July 18, 2008 Imagine if that was put in service, that would've been something! Can anybody say Photoshop? Only problem is, the doesn't exit the tunnels at all, and you don't get a train that dark in stations... matted33: E27/30? Some new upgrade or something? :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
