All signs were properly working Friday!
Hoping for a rebirth of the Screamer fleet.

what they may look like, and where they will be situated, remains a mystery—for now.That can't be right because at least the ones at Kenmore were installed long before today, and to my eye they look exactly like the ones on the heavy rail lines. As for locations: there are (at least) five I saw at Kenmore... One opposite the fare gates on the top level and four at the platform level - one on each end of the platform for each inbound track. Probably the same on the outbound side.
