Great shot, one minor correction - the roll would be either a street car or bus roll, not a subway. Those stops don't exist on either the 7 or the S, the two lines that run along 42nd St.

Ah! Thanks for the correction.

Love this image. Only ever seen a few examples of NY surface transit vehicle signs.

I'm attempting to create replica font sets used on old rollsigns. If you have more pictures of these signs, please email me at mile29inc at gmail.com. It would be greatly appreciated.
