Re: GCT Gate Curtain signs

JS-Interesting subject about GCT gate curtain destination signs...

The sign on the left is a 1960s NYC Hudson Line to Zone H stations.
The Harlem Line sign on the right is from the (early-mid) 1970s.

What made identification of the lines easy is the color coding that started during the Penn Central
years by the MTA for each of the three main GCT commuter rail routes - for those unaware:
Harlem Line - Blue
Hudson Line - Green
New Haven Line - Red

These three primary colors have stood well over time subsequently for CR and MNCR...MACTRAXX
