However, none of it is lit so I nearly missed seeing anything at all. You can cup your hands and look out the right side of the train to get a brief glimpse of the main archway, but I'd bring a SureFire flashlight or something similar next time. I'd like to know if they light it at certain times. It's beautiful under there and merits a glimpse for those who are interested. Why invest in renovation and then cut power and access? Security by obscurity, I guess. I just passed through last weekend and was quite excited to see it. However, none of it is lit so I nearly missed seeing anything at all.

People/citizens/city dwellers are not only the users but also the guardians of public space...

Guastavino tile construction is wonderful stuff. Thanks for posting this! I am glad to see that this is now open to the public. Guastavino tile construction is wonderful stuff.
