(For many years the old Hudson & Manhattan -- PATH's predecessor -- was referred to as the 'Tubes'. H&M itself even used the term.) In fact, there are a number of places like that where old signs survive. There are even websites that feauture photos of them, though I don't have a link handy, sorry..They appear at 14 and 23 Street, in the art deco IND tile signs. These are original signs from the IND in 1940.
