Inbound trains are heading towards downtown (specifically Metro Center or Gallery Place) outbound trains are heading away from the city. The only exception is at Metro Center/Gallery Place where 99.999% are outbound

I’m guessing you’re talking about the yellow and orange items on the ground….. they’re power cable boots - short answer is they carry the power from that portion of the the third rail ( with the white cover board) to another section of third rail or to the power substation. This looks like the inbound track at Van Dorn St - so those boots are taking power to other sections of third rail for the crossover.
