Re: T construction news
State Street Station was wide open sometime yesterday, got some pics of its first full day of service.
We'll begin our tour where I entered and progress as I walked through. I entered at 60 State (sorry, I said 63 State earlier!). It's located to the left of the bank of America entrance, but is still on the diagonal face:
Unfortunately I didn't get a pic of the entrance way from outside. The top of the stairs as seen from the small entry way:

Looking down the rest of the stairs from the landing:
A window, as seen from the landing:
The bottom of the stairs:
The fare lobby, thar she blows! (Elevator to the left, in the dark, which the stairs basically wrap around on two sides)
The fare gates:

Looking back from the paid side, across the pit:
As we stand on the platform, after our descent from 60 State, we look left (east):
Then west:
Also west, and we see the new alignment of the passageway to Oak Grove trains:
Hmm, let's check it out:
I find it odd how the walls are so zig zaggy:
Almost there:
Take a look back behind us:
Okay, onward now; we see the state of the Orange Line:
One last look back as a stampede approaches, clearly thrilled to have their tunnel back in service!
Will post more tomorrow, on the Exchange Place side.
