Was in Arlington station this weekend and saw the T work continuing. One phase of lighting is in place - the suspended lighting that runs above the "yellow line" close to the track. I was surprised to see this lighting uses yellow light bulbs. While yellow may be fine for your home, they make still-under-construction station look old and dingy before the work is even done. (Add to this the fact that lighting is going up, and the ceiling remains unrepaired, so, like Kenmore, looks like they'll just paint over the cracks and holes in the old ceiling. nice...)

An eastbound Green Line trolley rear-ended another one between Arlington and Boylston stations around 8:50 this morning, injuring seven people.

Sorry, Charlie.

A Green Line rider, who requested anonymity, wonders just what the hell was going on at Arlington station yesterday afternoon. He writes:

Yesterday at rush hour at Arlington T stop, there was a huge commotion---at the end of the tunnel, just before you can split off to go inbound or Outbound, there was a backed up crowd of people and, for the first time I'd ever seen, both doors were closed. People were trying to open the door, but it was incredibly difficult (it was almost like trying to open a door during a windstorm).

Anali marvels at the current reconstruction of Arlington Street station (and takes photos, to boot):

... There is a really long corridor that you have to walk through now. When I first walked through it, it reminded me of The Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy and friends are walking down that long corridor to see the Wizard. ...
