   Humph. The first time I saw Chicago "L" trains decorated that way, the    
   graphics were quite good. Don't remember what they were advertising, so    
   the campaign itself wasn't successful.   
      
   And they did up a few of the Q trains quite nicely for the opening of the    
   Second Avenue Line.   
      
   I was damn lucky I did that on Tuesday instead of yesterday. At 1 in the    
   afternoon, a huge utility truck fell off a Union City street overpass    
   onto NJ-495 West, which is the exit road from the Lincoln Tunnel. The    
   Tunnel was closed for many many hours and there were no buses out of    
   the PABT. NJT, PATH, and NY Waterways were all honoring bus tickets,    
   but the lines for those other services also lasted until well after dark.    
      
   12 people injured, none (even the driver) seriously, at least two cars    
   up above were totaled, but it came to rest vertically balancing on the    
   cab and leaning on the retaining wall.
