They hang from the ceiling , Horiztal... , On the PATH there on the walls (except in the terminals) and in Philly , Boston and South Jersey there mounted on the edge of the platform.

Fred,

I'll report my results tomorrow, because today I am going to work my asp off at the gym (oh the HORROR)...so no subways.

(Ahh, the bottom picture brought back "fond" memories of 20 years on the PATH train. Since there were so few stations the directions were easy to remember by rote. But even on PATH not all stations had those lights.)

Yes, Nexis, there are signals up above...sometimes. And when that's not the case, they're against the wall, just about midway along the station.
