UlmerPark B6 Posted September 13, 2008 Share #1 Posted September 13, 2008 As I was taking the today towards 14th St-Union Square, just north of DeKalb Avenue, we waited for the to pass. While that was happening I look out to the right side and saw Myrtle Avenue blocked my board fencing and there was light inside, i mean the whole station is lit up. Half of the station seemed like artwork, If you don't get what I mean you should take the (:D/(Q) train and north of DeKalb, theres my question. QUESTION: Why is the station lit?

7LineFan Posted September 13, 2008 Share #2 Posted September 13, 2008 It's the Masstransiscope. As the train rolls by you can see what looks like a moving image, but what are actually stills rushing past you so fast that your brain interprets it as moving. Of course, it doesn't work when the train moves slowly. It was installed in the Myrtle Avenue station after it closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N-Trizzy2609 Posted September 13, 2008 Share #3 Posted September 13, 2008 I was on a R68A ( train who completely stop at Myrtle once. The art work was removed but the station was fully lit. I'm guessing maybe just MAYBE probably wont happen tho, they might reopen it for a by-pass Station. I don't know. But that's my thesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radioguy Posted September 14, 2008 Share #5 Posted September 14, 2008 I thought the art was still there, but just grafitti covered now? I'd feel better knowing it was preserved elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted September 14, 2008 Share #6 Posted September 14, 2008 I think the station is less then 600 feet so I don't think there are go to reopen it. I had heard that they are possibly restoring the art work there. I know that the station is also an emergency exit and the opposite platform was removed in the 50's when they did a major track realignment project there.

7LineFan Posted September 14, 2008 Share #10 Posted September 14, 2008 Where do the tracks go after Myrtle? Manhattan Bridge or DeKalb Avenue, depending on which way you're going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
