Summary

Description
English: An unusual relic within the Pelham Parkway (IRT Dyre Avenue Line) subway station; an old-fashioned lighted sign reading "TO CITY" on the left, and "FROM CITY" on the right located behind the turnstiles. I want to believe this sign indicating which trains would be going in which direction is a by product of when the station was an interurban station of the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway, but I've seen lighted signs on other subway stations like this one, this one, and others that are outdated and it gives me a lot of doubts that they might be that old.
UPDATE: An inquiry with a ticket attendant on June 22, 2016 confirmed that this sign is in fact from the NYW&B.
