The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

Looking out the windows of the T in Boston, the walls are plain flat walls that are pretty grimy black. in some places there are shallow archways set into the wall, where workcrew can duck in when a train passes. There's posts down the middle between the tracks. Lots of pipes and conduits running down the length of the ceiling. A working signal system would be key to liven up the video with appropriate lights as the train is approaching each station. In addition to the Green, Yellow, and Red lights you would expect facing towards the train, there's also a white light that faces ahead of the train towards the passenger platform, its mounted on the side wall. That light goes off a few seconds before a train approaches, presumably a warning for any workers to clear the tracks <br /> <br />Fun bits for the train cam would be abandoned stations with older style station signs, and a good place for squatters, and abandoned track that veers off into unused tunnels, or alligator dens [:)] <br /> <br />Cheers, <br />Mo
