Old sign  Contributor's Pick!       
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.
