Time to start a new thread, lest the old one get too long.
His royal cheapmess, the LION concocted this platter of spaghetti to control the signal lights on the layout. The row of switches by the fascia would change the color of the lights. Well, this was not one of the LION's better ideas. First of course, you could set the signals for a photo shoot, but little else, they were not automatic, and I would have to play with the switches until I discovered which one controled the signal that I wanted to change.
Each signal has four wires coming down to this location, But now LION is automating the signals, and so all of this is coming out, or more likely, just abandoned in place, especially since the track to South Ferry was built directly on top of most of this wire.
The LION whishes all of ewe a hippo newt ear, and may all of your signals be clear!

1st thing I did when looking at the picture was "to find" Spaghetti Lion!
Conemaugh Road & Traction circa 1956
What LION has created here appears to be very much like pictures I have seen of the insides of some of the earliest digital computers. I would respectfully suggest that LION leave it as it is. For all we know it could at this very minute be working on the Ulitmate Question - of Life, The Universe, and Everything.
I have figured out what is wrong with my brain! On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

And did you find him? He *is* in there, feasting on the spaghetti as it were. By the time I posted this phot, I forgot where I put him, but I did find him, and he *is* in there.
(Define 'is".)
Looks like maybe he is on the back of that signal there. Guess him want to set signal to red, make train stop, so him can catch a ride to some place more populated.

Looking lost, right in the middle of the second space from the bottom. On white wire next to black tape.

The answer has been changed. It is now 42.423150699987
Be that as it may, the LION has been working on the railroad. Him was going to take new pictures, but what the heck... Wires are wires, and you have all seen wires before. Here is trains at the 14th Street / Union Square station.
You did not find the LION sitting on the relay, so no gnu photo for ewe today.
The Relay is not there anymore, anyway.
On the original pic, even clicking to make it bigger, that just looked like a slightly larger than usual solder blob
Randy,
Yea, bot, the solder blob, has eyes.
A solder blob indeed!
South Ferry (Old Platform)
He's sitting next to (close on the right) the 4th column from the lower right. He looks hungry.

Little tiny dot sitting on the platform, almost exactly even,with the center of the bottom of car doors.
Lion is it still -18 by you?
zstripeLion is it still -18 by you?
No, at the moment it is -19. The parking lot has been polished by the Zamboni.
Lion is all alone on a pole in the middle of the platform. PurrrrrHaps it is far too cold for Lion food to be taking the Subway.
Does Lion have Extra crews out in the cold to fix broken rails like the MTA?
Joe Staten Island West
He might be alone in the middle of the platform, but he is NOT sitting on a pole...
That is an HO scale SUBWAY MAP!
Poor little fella gettin´ toasted by 700 V DC!
Nah him is not on the tracks...
He is looking for his next meal from the window sill of the control tower. Our lower right. RIGHT!
Tiny LION on teh grate (?) below the conductor's front window. Better hold tight, if him fall, be squashed cat on tracks
Aye, that is where the Beast Be, but the beast is a Cheatah, "Speedy Cheater" is his name, and him runs the homeballs hoping to clear them and not get tripped.
