I don’t know if I ever addressed this subject concerning the museum train, But I wonder why the MTA didn’t allow the T/O to wear the traditional striped overalls and matching cap while operating the train.

Really nice photos! Thanks for sharing them!
When I was there on 12/16, I didn't notice the Subway Sun issue re: the Paris Metro vs. New York. Cool. Thanks for including it.

One little problem with the Paris Metro picture. The sign on a Paris station would never read "Closed."

yes, I realized that the second time I looked at the picture. It should have read "ferme" with an acute accent over the final "e"

The Aqueduct one has to be no earlier than 1959 when the current Aqueduct opened.

Are those circles above the stairway on that sign route bullets like we use today (but didn't then)?

The circles are actually lights* in a kind of half round globe shape set into and protruding from the concrete lentil above the stairway, just before the first staircase landing,below ground.

*lit in a bright white color.

So, one picture is worth a thousand words:
This is hopefully the proper URL, for a picture of the lights above stairway of the Solferino station on Line 12, in a later style than the classic Art Nouveau:

https://thebeautyoftransport.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/1024px-solfc3a9rino_entrance.jpg

and here are two URLs (not sure which one is correct) for a classic Art Nouveau entrance, with the same row of lights over the staircase:

This may be the URL for the image:
https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/historic-entrance-paris-metro-france-79510269.jpg

I think this URL is for the webpage:
editorial-stock-image-historic-entrance-paris-metro-france-image79510269

can someone here use the code to download these photos onto subchat - I've just been searching around, and cannot find my WORD doc with notes about the code for doing this. Thanks in advance.
