Time to move before
The winter comes!
Also raining in City Hall
Don't know how to post the video but it's pretty intense/pathetic.
Wonder if Assembly Station
turned into a flood plain again this morning.
UPDATE - Went by Assembly on the commuter rail about 4 PM that afternoon, and saw enough standing water on the platform to indicate that it had been flooded during the torrential rains that morning.
The Old State House entrance
The Old State House entrance at State sure did. There was a T employee futilely pushing water to the side with a broom.
That looks like the outbound side...
...north end of the center platform. There's a huge drainage problem off that roof...late winter during snowmelt it was pouring in there every day.
It's not like there's catenary or diesel fumes to worry about on the Orange Line - why they left the trackbed open to the sky there is beyond me.
They cover it at some
They cover it at some stations, why not all of them??
It wasn't raining
the day the plans were signed off.
I've been a victim
Of those in-train leaks, usually sitting at the end of the car, and always while reading a nice hardback rather than a cheap paperback. A few drops last night in fact. Not like that flood, but there are leaks inside some of the cars.
In their later years of service
most of the Boeing LRVs were notorious for end of car interior leaks. Regular Green Line riders quickly learned what seats to avoid on rainy days.
Just what you want around
Just what you want around 600V third rails...
