It looks like it came from a 1000 series because of the white light shining. 1000s originally used scroll signs with a center lamp in the middle. Before retirement, you could easily tell that it's a 1000 series by the center bulb only showing in the middle. If you noticed the 8000 series money trains, the "no passengers" sign came from a scroll (in bold Arial font).
The Dulles Airport, destination code, 34, has been around sense the first version of the code table was created in the early 1970s. The 1k cars were delivered from the manufacture with a white letter on black field Dulles Airport destination on their sign rolls. Here is a an original roll sign from a 1k car with the truncated sign roll from the 1980s: th-cam.com/video/8ONWQzEEK_Q/w-d-xo.html

How do you get these? I was thinking of contacting WMATA to buy one of these, possibly even an old 1k or 4k operating panel. How did you get this? I really would like to know.
Yes, the 2000 and 3000 series also used these flip dot destination signs before their rebuilds, in which they got refitted with LEDs after that.

Whaaaaat?!!? That's cool! Where did you get it from?
Can You Be Able To Do Flip Dot Signs were It Says Ashburn For The Silver Line?
It Looks Awesome!
Was this from a 1000, 2000, 3000, or 4000 series railcar?
Yes, that is correct. 4000 series, 1000-series rehab, and 2000/3000 pre-rehab.
While the modern destination sign is from 5000 6000 and 7000 series railcar
@andreivillasana2798 the rehabilitated 2000 and 3000 trains have the LED destination signs
how did you get this?

Interesting. When I dumped the onboard ROM chip from this sign, there is a destination for "Route 772" which I guess is the Ashburn station?
@@daveypocket7196yes and there is also a Route 606 which is for Loudoun Gateway station
Hi John, where could I find that code table, if possible?
