Conservation of Matter: The Fall and Rise of Boston's Elevated Subway on Vimeo

This documentary follows the journey of 100,00 tons of steel from the Boston Elevated Subway, which was erected in 1898, demolished in 1987, then shipped eight thousand miles away to be melted re-formed into steel bars. These then cross the ocean again, where they are ultimately re-fabricated into a remarkable new structure in a surprising location. Workers, historians, preachers, politicians, on lookers, artists, children, architects, and astrophysicists on two continents address the significance of the process as it unfolds.
Have a watch, if you are interested in some Boston history. I didn't know a whole lot about the elevated Orange Line.

MBTA signage now available for...wherever

The MBTA has joined New York City's MTA as part of Underground Signs' inventory. Underground Signs is selling replicas of signs in all 270 MBTA stations. For a brand that's hurting, it's an opportunity for the MBTA to get some positive perception out there about their service and build on some of the ridership gains they've seen in the last year.
