I didn't get to see it go into the subway, or such, but I did get to ride it three stops. I don't think I've ever seen these posted here.

I was expecting a platform at first. Then I was expecting stairs. Then I saw an odder thing than the woman at the platform running around and shouting rap lyrics to herself (which is now considered normal from what I gather at gas stations and such); the steps slowly roll out. I'm not really a fan of this since the railing isn't the best.

Nice pics.

Interessting system. Runs on the surface in the downtown area, and in subway outside of downtown. The opposite of the usual setup.

Funny that I hadn't thought about that. I thought that was a pretty good way of doing it.
Downtown streets and stops are closer together. There's the sights, and the districts. Tourists I hope too (since it's a fare free zone).
Outside of downtown you want to travel rapidly.

It makes sense to me.

It's just the stairs I wonder about. I wish I took an image of it. It's stairs with no railing.

Nice! The second shot reminds me of Houston's Metro.

I thought I took a picture where the road veers off from the subway portal. I didn't. I haven't been outside in forever, excuse me for not getting all the details.

You can sort of see the entrance ahead. Also, I wasn't sure why they had those railroad crossings facing perpendicular to the tracks, or what they're even for. Unless it's some "snow emergency" thing.

That is weird. There's what appears to be a bicyle lane to the right of the tracks, so I was thinking it was for that so no bicycles go by while the train is there, but the arm of the gate looks like it would actually block the train. Who knows.

They didn't go down or anything. I noticed them at most intersections, but it could have been at all of them. They appeared in good shape and had the barrier around them.

Considering some of the surrounding streets had blue "Snow Emergency Route" signs, it's all I can guess.
