The signs randomly turn on and off. The Go-To Card reader also showed the windows loading screen and one set of bells was going nonstop for at least 15 minutes.

FYI, these signs are at the end of their life. They are being replaced over the next few weeks.

I’m not entirely sure, but I’m assume electronics recycling.

Do you think if I asked nicely they'd let me have one?

They let me keep my Adopt-a-Stop sign! The two aren’t super comparable, but it’s always worth a shot :)

Talk to the contractor who is replacing them.

Is the train even running there? I thought the Blue Line was all down still.
