MattTrain Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share #28 Posted August 4, 2008 i mess with the signs on the R38 sometimes. Be careful if you do that, you'll throw off riders going to their destination. I've seen a dude turn a roll sign and changed the South Terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTrain Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share #29 Posted August 4, 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. That train has never ran into Queens since the early 1990's. It is currently replaced by during Rush Hours and all times. That sign's probably corrected by now.

MattTrain Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share #32 Posted August 4, 2008 LMAO@ those signs The (Q6) lives The returns;) That (Q6) needs some fixing, seriously, since 2004, and nobody's saying anything. Change the (Q6) to already.... The , probably an honest mistake. Note: Anyone that plans to take photos of the subway, please check the roll signs, directions, and overhead signs. The MTA thinks they're doing a good job, but sometimes a mistake occurs. This is not intentional but if anyone see any mistakes whether it's a sign or a rollsign or a LCD sign that doesn't make sense, take a photo of it. We need to tell the NYCT to stop confusing riders with wrong information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTrain Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share #33 Posted August 4, 2008 This is the most weird brochure that I have picked up. The replaces the between Jay Street and Euclid Avenue in Brooklyn. To make things more bizzare, the doesn't replace the , the terminates at Hoyt Schermerhorn. There are three trains here 179 St Queens to Jay Street normal, then replaces from Jay Street to Euclid Avenue Between 7 Avenue and Coney Island. is express between 7-Church Avenues southbound Another train between 7 Avenue and Fort Hamilton Parkway. This is Southbound only!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTrain Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share #34 Posted August 4, 2008 The train sign is here And when the is discontinued The is just peeled off, it's casing, pedestal, or whatever you want to call it is still standing. Geniuses!! And to make things more strange... the which is not used anymore, still has it's own web page.

metsfan Posted August 4, 2008 Share #35 Posted August 4, 2008 I don't know how they were changed, but the 2 cars that said on the inside had on the outside, and 2 cars with on the outside had on the inside, The rest were normal, and the designation display at the cab end said , plus it was at the chambers street terminal. I was running for my life to catch a PATH train after i looked at my watch & saw what the time was or i would have taken photos, it just happened to have open doors & i was able to see in after my rolled in. - Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet there were some confusion on that train that you rode on that day. Yes, a lot of people were standing around looking at the signs above the platform edges and the map. I had to run past them at the speed of light before they attacked the train i just stepped off. They were in a crowd on the west track, and my train was all most empty, i walked down like 15 feet, saw the signs, looked at my watch, saw them all walk over and booked out a there weaving through a few stragglers towards the WTC connection. - Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTrain Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share #38 Posted August 4, 2008 The old map dating back to 2000 Going to Long Island Rail Road, it's either two blocks away or three blocks away. No tokens please. Tokens are discontinued since 2003, yet this still displays! ZERO HOUR, REALLY!!! to Kings Highway, I don't think so! What train is this? This train is in Flushing, but no sign indicates a route.... This train was in Continental Avenue, but I believed it was used for the shuttle train???? We don't speak gibberish, only English Isn't Main Street in Flushing it seems like Main Street and Flushing are in two different places. A sign for a train, I don't know. Oh great, on the , this sign, well the roll sign maker was on a high. These aren't my images, but a person posted this just to find reasons to say why the MTA is so disorganized.

'89 Liberty MCI Posted August 5, 2008 Share #41 Posted August 5, 2008 That's at 125 Street I believe. Appears more than once at 125th too I think. Also when I said I realize that I meant that the hasn't been to Queens in a while. The Queens sign is probably gonna be there for a good long peace.

N-Trizzy2609 Posted August 5, 2008 Share #42 Posted August 5, 2008 You know, back in 03' I was at Rockaway with a friend of mine and we died laughing because the sign in 116th Street said, "(A) To Broad Channel and Manhattan" We went to JFK pre-AirTrain, and the crossover had a sticker saying, "(JFK) Express To Midtown Manhattan" Both signs are now long gone.

Do you know an that goes between Euclid and 168th? Didn't think so! is the local partner of all times except late nights. When ©'s not running, picks up the slack and makes all stops between 168 Street in Manhattan and Euclid Avenue in Brooklyn in addition to going to 207th Street, Manhattan, and Far Rockaway Queens.
