An old-school number board on the B Train

On the B Train, Slant R40 4255 has a real old school number board. I am not exactly sure how old it is, but it sure isn't standard issue. If anyone has any information about this number board, tell me. The location here is 59th Street. I am making my connection to a downtown A Train. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken on May 22nd, 2008.

Don't forget, many of the R40 fleet's car numbers aren't the real ones.
