Keeping tabs on an Orange Line mystery
By adamg on Sat, 12/07/2013 - 12:06pm
Ezra Freedman wonders:
For years there have been cans of Tab at the end of the Green Street platform, what's the deal?
Ed. note: So that's what happened to Steve Slyne's stash after his place in West Roxbury got turned into the Real Deal!

It's Disgusting
... but throwing the empty cans on the ground is not very nice either.
TAB
"Tanqueray and TAB and keep 'em coming!"
wowwwwww

Bottle collections
Bottle collections are very common at signals and stations on the MBTA. There's one spot on the commuter rail between Oak Grove and Wyoming Hill where southbound trains must stop for a signal as they wait for a northbound train to clear the single-track section in Malden. Right where the train would stop is a pile of blue water (or powerade or something) bottles, probably from some thoughtless engineer who would toss it out as he waited for the signal. There's also a pile of Dunkin Donuts cups at a signal between Kenmore and Hynes, from some Green Line operator out there.
Yellow, Not Blue
The line may be Blue, but the color of the liquid in the vast bottle collection at Wonderland is yellow.
These have been there for
These have been there for years. I actually saw the Tab drinker once, about 8 years ago. It was a 30-something white dude with a mullet.
