Boston Transportation
This is Airport Station, the train is heading north (schedule eastbound).  The Blue line runs above ground  from Wonderland Station to Airport Station using a catenary wire.  At Airport the train moves underground, but at the next station, Maverick, it would switch to a third rail.  During the station lengthening construction several years ago, the
MBTA moved the third rail/catenary wire switch point to Airport Station. Today, any train exiting/entering the tunnel here would have the pantographs down! There are now third rails here also.
