Curious.....

Any idea who MIGHT have supplied the roller curtains for the train indicator boards at GCT?

I am sure there are a number of historic photos depicting the GCT indicator boards online; I have several books on GCT and the NYC and there are photos that clearly show the details (they were the standard white on black) the Hutchinson indicators at the CNJ's Jersey City terminal also used roller curtains......

Note the photo of the modern repro sign for the "BLUE COMET" at the historic CNJ station at Liberty Par; the RDG used Olde English lettering (black on white) for its crack "CRUSADER"

"standard" CNJ roller curtains were white on vlack.................
