Subway Icicle
Toronto, ON - Michelle - Thursday, February 8th, 2007 : goo

This was the surprising sight yesterday in the subway tunnel at Broadview... 
Today it has fallen down but a new one is forming in its place.

I love how the graff on that non smoking sign kinda looks like a cyclist at first glance.

Just wondering but isnt that icicle hanging from a cable?
This wouldn't be the cable added in recent years throughout the bloor line that enables communication throughout the system, would it? Not possible with normal radios of course, being underground and all. (Do cell phones work in the system?)
I'm thinking that this is the cable responsible for carrying the TTC's three radio systems and maybe even also responsible for train speed control! I hope this is not the case.
Tried to find an e-mail address for thier engineering dept. to no avail. Anyone know how to contact them, just in case?
What about Steve Monroe. He might be able to answer one or both quandries.
Just asking. Great Photo though.

@curious = I think that it is an optical illusion. The cable is behind the icicle, not actually supporting it! Thankfully. Evenso, I think it is scary that the subway tunnel has an icicle - what's this telling us about the concrete stability?
joey: the place is full of holes.
