Location: Shaw-Howard Univ Date: 2007-01-04 Comments: Station entrance pylon with added yellow stripe following introduction of Yellow Line service to Fort Totten. Shaw's street pylons had always had a yellow stripe on them, though it was allowed to deteriorate, since Shaw only had Yellow Line service for a very brief period when it first opened. With the reintroduction of Yellow Line service at Shaw, a new yellow stripe was added in some of the space occupied by the green stripe, rather than restoring the existing yellow stripe. |
