I'd say the yellow line at the edge of the platform.

^ Yep, just a yellow bubble-strip.

Congrats on finding a new entrance to Downtown Crossing!

LOL Unfortunately there was a turnstile collecting fares though. It still ran on tokens, and there wasn't a CSA in sight to purchase from.

PS: Maybe it's just me, but the driver looks like Menino???

Anyone seen the 3 car GL sets?

Anyone seen the 3 car GL sets?

I saw one at Park Street the other day. I did a double take because the last card went all the way back to where the first car of C line trains start. I then remembered they had started testing them.

Wood Island Station is pretty cool.

 

[Lurker]

It's a very Kahn-esque station. Unfortunately it fails to provide adequate shelter from the frigid winds half the year. It seems to be a trend in MBTA station and shelter design to ignore the climate half the year.

 

[Beton Brut]

Your Kahn observation is spot on, Lurker. Suffolk Downs is similarly austere, like a modern ruin.

I've asked the T to consider covering the tracks in their replacement for Orient Heights. In short, not happening. I don't get it -- the track at Ashmont are covered by a shed roof.
