mikefrombk Posted November 20, 2008 Share #2 Posted November 20, 2008 Weird, mighta just been a mistake of using and old icon. Everywhere else on the site uses the yellow . I do like catching the occasional (Q6) still roll up to the station though. Always wanna grab a photo of it but never have my camera on me when I see one.

Canarsie143 Posted November 20, 2008 Share #7 Posted November 20, 2008 I remember seeing that same orange (Q6) at 34 St. Herald Dq., right when you get off the front of hte N train, closest to the PATH station. It brings back a lot of memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayBuffer Posted November 21, 2008 Share #12 Posted November 21, 2008 The (Q6) shows up on the NYCT service alerts and is used frequently by NY1 with their weekend rail & road report. Not to mention NY1's map still has the pre-Manhattan Bridge north side reopening. The socks like other TM map-oriented merchandise probably hasn't been updated in 10 years. Not a big deal since I doubt most people are thrown by an orange (Q6) and probably don't understand the color significance anyway. Even in the days of the (Q6) with slants, I recall once seeing a pull into DeKalb Ave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikefrombk Posted November 21, 2008 Share #13 Posted November 21, 2008 Even in the days of the (Q6) with slants, I recall once seeing a pull into DeKalb Ave. I got off a at DeKalb about a year ago that had a sign on one of the middle cars. I've seen it a few times here and there elsewhere, never on a lead or tailing car though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy Posted November 21, 2008 Share #14 Posted November 21, 2008 has to do with the code for the image, sort of like how you type [Q] here (replace brackets with () to do it) and it makes . Well if you type [Q6] you get (Q6). on the MTA site I think just typing Q gets you 6th ave and you have to type another image name to get the yellow so its probably a frequent intern mistake as they say heh.. I could be wrong on this one, but it's easy to mix up since it's coded into the page and can't be seen if its right or wrong till its published Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radioguy Posted November 21, 2008 Share #17 Posted November 21, 2008 Church Ave (?) on the Brighton line has all the old signage like and and on the old fluorescent backlit plastic cels above the platforms. Unfortunately they're all covered with a layer of paint. You can stick make out some of them, though. One pass of paintstripper over those and we'll be back in the 80s.

Radioguy Posted November 21, 2008 Share #19 Posted November 21, 2008 All tracks have it, I think. If you look up from a window seat on without getting off you can even see them. They don't face in from the track, but outward from the celings above the platform. You might have to look athe flat surface for a second to still see the route bullets. Some areas have heavier coats of paint than others too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that even paint, or is it that black stuff they paste over signs to change them? (Paint thinner would take off the old bullets if they were on the outside, and could also mess up the plastic).

Radioguy Posted November 21, 2008 Share #21 Posted November 21, 2008 That "black stuff" is actually blank black decal cut from a roll to cover newly erroneous route signs, or to cover bullets of lines that no longer run at a station. Sometimes there will be printed decal "correction" strips that will cover an old sign, or parts. This is different. These are not standard station route signs. Apparently, the MTA decided not continue producing clear cells for these signs, and just painted them. Then hung standard ones at platform edges. I believe these may be unique, although I thought there was at least another station somewhere with them. There may be some kind of solvent that could b used to save this signage, but since they just painted them, I doubt the MTA wants to recover them. Incidentally, the signs look like some of the station signatures some members have here. Bullets on a black square on a white station route sign with black print.

Eric B Posted November 21, 2008 Share #22 Posted November 21, 2008 Yeah; "blank decal"; that was a good way of putting it I couldn;t think of at the moment. But if I remember correctly, that's what it looked like it was. Even though those signs are fdifferent, they could still use that to cover up the outdated info. At least, I think I remember seeing somewhere where they pasted that stuff over a clear sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioguy Posted November 21, 2008 Share #23 Posted November 21, 2008 Nope. There are paint strokes on this, and not even coverage. That's why I noticed it. (Although I do rememeber them exposed as a kid, so I did recognize what I was seeing) It's the same paint as what was used on the structure above. They just went and covered the whole thing. Decals would have been better, but no one thought this through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
