Could swear I saw some Red Line ones sitting north of the Broadway Bridge last time I ran over, but I didn't stop for pictures. That was about a week ago. But it's too soon for that, right?

Found this: So maybe it's still part of the emergency training they do there?

Still can't figure out why it works sometimes and not others. But I'll try and use two browsers until the new overlords give us an image hosting solution. Here are the rest:
