T photo of the day

I was looking over at these pictures,

and am surprised/impressed by how much more pedestrian friendly the green line has become. From ugly asphalt highways, to boulevards with trees and large pedestrian areas.

Wow, Huntington Ave really got a nice facelift with the greening from the medians, the raised station platforms, and the stop shelters.

Look at Park Street with those cool green and red light things!

Thanks for the links. They were thoroughly enjoyed.

As an aside, when did the T stop using 2-car trains on the Red Line? Furthermore, as I was thinking about this, I realized that the T has stopped used 4-car sets during weekends and off-peak periods. When did the standardization to 6-car sets for all service occur?

On the orange line, I think it was immediately upon receiving the current fleet. Though I could be wrong, it may have been a little off from that.

YOU KNOW IT.

TWO 3-SOMES AND AN INTER-RACIAL. OH GOD.

Should have snapped a shot of the yard. Good orgy scene.

I remember the 4 car set ran on the weekend for at least until the mid 1990s.

So lonely

Friday at around 6pm inbound between Alewife and Davis, not a time you'd expect emptiness.

 

[Arborway]

I'd probably assume there was some kind of national emergency / zombie outbreak if I found a car that empty at 6pm on a Friday

Was it the last car on the train or something?

The weather was nice today. That tends to have an effect on subway ridership. But not that much...in that location...

Gah, I wish the RL cars had center poles like NYC. It would make rush-hour a little more comfortable. Does anyone know if there was a reason why they were omitted? It's such a wide aisle and there are spots where you can't reach a pole or handle.
