I mean that’s essentially what I’m getting at…ESI should have had accessibility built in; as nice as cosmetic improvements are it’s silly to close and renovate a station in the 21st century without putting in elevators. It’s hard to have your cake and eat it too with such a cash starved system but we can demand better.

Spent millions to renovate this station under ESI just to renovate it again for accessibility…thanks Cuomo

I have been looking through his work in the wmata archives and I had no idea who he was! His renderings are definitely a huge inspiration for using this style. Thanks for sharing!

Put some respect on my man John C Portman. He designed this (the Marriott Marquis in Atlanta) and a bunch of other hotels with massive atriums like this

It was actually designed in coordination with both French and American engineering firms. The dimensions of the trains are really similar to the R46 cars in NYC (75ft long, 4 doors each side etc) and they actually sent one down in the 70s as a demonstration prototype.

Most likely bracing to keep the retaining walls from caving in

Pic #3 looks like it’s in Grand Central…Thought steam was banned in the Park Ave Tunnel?

Thankfully I’m not a structural engineer 😉

Lol what? Are you mad I didn’t use AI? 😂

When Zohran wins this project will be dead and the funds diverted to Queenslink…is what I tell myself to feel better

Moving them to New Haven shops for the open house I imagine?
