MHV9218 Posted February 24, 2015 Share #4976 Posted February 24, 2015 Well, the top roll is from the 1980s and the bottom is new. Whether or not they printed a new roll or just added something I don't know, but I really like that they used Akzidenz-Grotesk on a sign for the first time in decades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the superior font! Whenever I see an R42 J with helvetica in my mind I think DANG! I really love that font! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparen of Iria Posted February 26, 2015 Share #4978 Posted February 26, 2015 I wonder if the station will have Fulton Center problems... Anyways, it's going to be somewhat shocking to return home and see all the Westchester R142A converts... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priincenene Posted February 28, 2015 Share #4983 Posted February 28, 2015 Nope. It's Random. I've seen it happen on Tuesday Nights before and once on a Wednesday Welp, I was wrong. But I know it mostly happens during late night hours but the day of the week I guess doesn't matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R179 8258 Posted February 28, 2015 Share #4984 Posted February 28, 2015 Welp, I was wrong. But I know it mostly happens during late night hours but the day of the week I guess doesn't matter.

Q113 LTD Posted March 2, 2015 Share #4990 Posted March 2, 2015 Would be cool if they have a 7-day forecast weather display on the small tv screen on R160s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTA Dude Posted March 2, 2015 Share #4991 Posted March 2, 2015 Would be cool if they have a 7-day forecast weather display on the small tv screen on R160s. Why is it in this thread? And it would literally be useless. What does the have to do with weather reports? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted March 3, 2015 Share #4992 Posted March 3, 2015 Why is it in this thread? And it would literally be useless. What does the have to do with weather reports? The PA5s on PATH have a weather display on the TV Screens inside the car.... So at least one rail system thought it would be useful. Mind you its basically the same car as the 160s with minor differences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javier Posted March 3, 2015 Share #4996 Posted March 3, 2015 What I want to know is why can't the R62A's be cleaned and shiny like the R188's. It just seems as the MTA is just dumping the R62A's on the without a care in the world. They still even have traces of the in them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
