I've noticed in photos taken at Babylon and Massapequa back in the 80's that the station platform signs that display the name used to hang from the canopies. Obviously, they do not anymore because it was difficult for commuters to see them by looking up, plus poor lighting. Now on grade level stations they are located on the platform railing, light poles, or below billboards. But in the past they were put onto two steel poles above the platform railing. On elevated stations they are now on either billboards, light poles, or on side of stairwells and elevators except at Hunterspoint Avenue and Flatbush/Atlantic Terminal. I'm pretty sure where I'm going with this, but when did they make those changes? Were there any other elevated stations that had their signs hanging from their canopies?
