GreeneggsnPelham Posted March 31, 2013 Share #6 Posted March 31, 2013 Excellent pics! Has that top destination reading always been there? I don't remember ever seeing it say "Franklin Avenue-Fulton Street" in its entirety before. Usually one or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Local Posted March 31, 2013 Share #7 Posted March 31, 2013 Excellent pics! Has that top destination reading always been there? I don't remember ever seeing it say "Franklin Avenue-Fulton Street" in its entirety before. Usually one or the other. Mr GreenEggs, Sometime after the Franklin Shuttle received R68s, the rollsign boxes were removed removed, and these "plastic plaque" type signs were installed in the windows where the rollsigns once stood. Franklin Avenue-Fulton Street is most likely the original reading for the R68s that they were delivered with. Before the rollsign change in April 2001 ( Just months before the Manhattan Bridge Swap) the 68s received new destination signs, stating the neighborhood/borough, then the street or Avenue. For Example, with the original signs the Shuttle most likely read, what it says now.. Franklin Avenue-Fulton-Street Brooklyn ---------------------------------------- Prospect Park Brooklyn The used to read: Ditmars Boulevard-Astoria Queens ---------------------------------- Coney Island Brooklyn The had: Bedford Park Boulevard Bronx --------------------------------- Coney Island Brooklyn ------------------------------- So if you notice the pattern, they were much longer readings then what we have today: Franklin Av-Fulton St --------------------------- Prospect Park Astoria Ditmars Blvd ----------------------------------- Coney Island Bronx Bedford Park Blvd -------------------------------- Brighton Beach -------------------------------------------- I hope I clarified it for ya dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
