A minor typo - at the moment, both of your links to previous posts go to the "WL Writers'..." article. "Take My Logline" is over here.
#39: on most of the trains there's no information about the specific line, or the stops, except for the one MTA subway map in each car.
There's actually a reason for that -- cars are assigned to storage yards, not necessarily individual lines, and so permanent strip maps in cars aren't always possible. (Even the ones where they try aren't always correct for this reason... 2 trains periodically end up with 5 line maps, and vice versa, because they share the same yard.) The most recent car design, a few of which have started to arrive, solves the problem via all-electronic strip maps.
Serge @ 45: I smell a t-shirt in there, joann.
Indeed, shirts based on the same general idea are now available. (I have come to suspect that the mere act of publicly posting "such-and-such should have a shirt" actually causes it to be so.)
The Met has also transcribed the inscriptions. Seven names, and only one who had lived past 30.
The fantastically huge original image (4 MB) is available from NASA's Earth Observatory page. It's an astonishing photo; San Diego is completely invisible under all the smoke.
Also unfriendly to modem users is the Forest Service's historical fire map (2 MB) - indicating both the active fires, and every previous fire in this calendar year. There have been many more small fires than I realized.
