After a several-decade obsession with bland functionality, the Metropolitan Transit Authority began getting more creative with subway platform lighting in the 1990s. Included in that rubric is the refurbishing, or in some cases redesign and reinstallation, of the classic T-shaped platform lamps that generally were used to light up express platforms.
Seen here is one such example at Queensboro Plaza, the one and only express el platform that serves both the BMT and IRT, the N/Q and #7 trains.
On a picture perfect afternoon, there were little fluffy clouds in the sky.
