In the 1970s, the MTA had not yet consolidated all its operations. Metro North was still Penn Central, and the LIRR, while under MTA auspices since 1965, still retained a lot of its own identity. The standardization of things like station signs was still in the future. Dad was waiting at Douglaston one night in 1975 and took a moment to record what was at the time a typical sight. Now all signs are in the standard MTA typeface that started out on the NYCTA. |
