MattTrain Posted August 3, 2008 Share #1 Posted August 3, 2008 Most Absurd mistake signs This will make you laugh and make you think how ridiculous sign posting workers are these days. Some signs are not updated, a rollsign looks mixed up, and destination signs that make no sense, and spelling's even a mistake here. Take a look. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with these signs?

MattTrain Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted August 3, 2008 The dosen't stop at Union Sqaure 14th Street No, the doesn't you're right, the sign was used to cover up the sign when it was discontinued to make room for ( in Brooklyn and in Manhattan.

'89 Liberty MCI Posted August 3, 2008 Share #6 Posted August 3, 2008 I've spotted a sign, maybe more than one copy, reading "Queens ©" with a downstairs arrow to cross over to the opposite platform in at least one local station (not sure about the express stations) on the IND Fulton line. What's more the is in a circle rather than a diamond, the never ran to Queens, only the and did plus the Rockaway Shuttle, and no (CC)/©/<CC>/<C> service has run to Queens since 1993 I think.

R32 3348 Posted August 3, 2008 Share #9 Posted August 3, 2008 Mine aren't all absurd but you get the point. Let's see what I've collected over the past one and a half years on my camera phone... Broken This was an train. LOL This was on an train leaving the Aquarium headed N/B. LOL A classic... Taken at 96th St. I can't find but also had an R142A rollsign showing at 59th Street, at 51st Street, and at Bleecker Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTrain Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share #10 Posted August 3, 2008 I can't find but also had an R142A rollsign showing at 59th Street, at 51st Street, and at Bleecker Street. What's not unusual to me is the diamond sign, that's not such a rare case. Sometimes you have the LCD sign working but has no lights, it's very weird. There was an train with signage at the Aquarium, that's really strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the (J)/(Z) fraction just like the (1)/(9) one too. I usually think those are strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7LineFan Posted August 3, 2008 Share #15 Posted August 3, 2008 A spelling mistake is rare but if there is one it's hard not to laugh at it. There's one at the Main Street station, since they just updated the signage... it says Local all others times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
