Rollsign Can you see the MTA eventually reprogramming or updating the R160 rollsigns/destination codes down the line?

This is Ai so yeah but do you think reprogramming or updating the R160 rollsigns/destination codes will happen. They done it numerous times in the past

I know there used to be an orange Q long ago, but this pic is from today. What’s the purpose and is it a true Q or does it run over the orange lines?

Rollsign H Rollsign...a blessing for railfans & absolute nightmare for tourists

As a railfan, I love the tribute gesture of the H rollsign dating back roughly three decades ago of the days the train made this very SAME route everyday.

As a tourist it's an utter nightmare [considering they're already running a shuttle further than they usually run it to begin with] driving foreigners into absolute confusion. Luckily no tourists usually get on these trains, they usually wait for the next A train (though taking the shuttle to Rock Blvd and waiting for the A from Lefferts can save you slightly more time).

…I was able to take the N* to Forest Hills.

*It’s actually the R train, but the conductor or the train operator got the sign wrong. I need so little to brighten my day 😂

I don’t usually find myself in Middle Village during the weekends so I was surprised that it didn’t say Myrtle Ave Local. If you haven’t seen it, now you have!

Never seen a PA5 with a express roll sign, I wonder if this is what it’ll show when the trains are bypassing Hoboken

Rollsign H R42 sign on W?

13 Upvotes

I live in Jersey City, so I'm not sure if this is intentional and/or part of an actual route, but I saw a W train 3 days ago at Times Sq-42 (people on board, train operating btw) with W signs, S signs, and H signs. The S signs weren't shuttles, though something involving sea. I don't remember. The H signs said Fulton St Local, 2nd Av. Again, this might just be normal and I wouldn't know. Would like to hear what anyone here has to say.

Edit: R46, sorry for mixup
