TheNewYorkElevated Posted July 19, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 19, 2015 Well, I have a story to tell here. Bare with me on this. So, last week, I was on my home, heading uptown. It was at 86th Street. As usual, an R62A train arrived in the station at a fast speed. Nothing out of the ordinary. But then, at the last 3 cars in the back, it assigned as the train between Dyre Avenue the Bronx and Fltabush Avenue Brooklyn. When I enter the last car, it gets much worse from there. You can easily access the cab (don't worry though on this part; it was only half of the cab. The train controls were not accessible). Adding to that, the door to the rollsign was also open as well. I didn't enter the cab. I get of at 137th Street, I was shocked at what I saw. Now, I must note this: I did not do any kind of stupid rollsign shenanigans or anything like what the Conquestors did. I just simply came across it. The only reason why I wanted to post this story because of because something was not right here. Now explain me why that happened.

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted July 19, 2015 Share #2 Posted July 19, 2015 Ok so the destination was changed. Big deal. Either a careless employee and/or some crazy railfans messing with the subway cars as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either a careless employee and/or some crazy railfans messing with the subway cars as usual. Exactly. That's why I said "I must note this" at the end, because now, a photo or video that's posted of a different signage, everyone is gonna think he/she did Conquestor related activity.

For what it's worth, I never saw what the big deal was anyway. I never even thought about crazy railfans changing the signs until I came here and saw that people wasted their time doing that.

We should leave it at that. This type of thing occurs from time to time. If possible, the C/R should be alerted before any crew members are written up for the erroneous signage. If a cab door is left open, the car # should be noted and any transit employee around should be informed. Moving along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTOMan Posted July 20, 2015 Share #7 Posted July 20, 2015 More foolishness from fools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewYorkElevated Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share #8 Posted September 23, 2015 More foolishness from fools? Apparently so... Just today, one of the rollsigns from R62A #2335 has been stolen. Came across it going home from IKEA. And I'm going to say this again; I did not mess with the rollsign, or do Conquestor related activity. Just like before, I just came across it.
