I had heard the EL lettering was reapplied because of a lawsuit involving
this unit and an individual being struck and killed prior to CR, and it
wasn't the whims of an employee. Yes, they grabbed some PC stencils to do
the lettering. :(


Here's another shot from my collection showing the unit on the former NYC
West Shore at Cornwall, NY in 1977. Note they relettered BOTH ends of the
unit.
