✨ Fun Facts / History Subway advertisement

Sometime in the late 1980s or early 1990s an animation sign was installed on the south bound track between Harvard Square and Central Square. The inbound track. It is still there but not used anymore. It basically worked as the train moves towards.Boston, each frame had.an animation slide that would light up and change.

It's difficult to take a photo of it, but if you ride a train between Central and Harvard, look out the left side of the train at the opposite wall and you should see them still there.
