 I belive thats the offical line as well. They think that leaving the
lights one will discourage the vandals as all that light makes them
easy to spot from a distance..

 Also means the train drivers taking those trains out on Monday morning
get an extra 10 minutes in the warm crib room, instead of being out preping
their train - they dont run the risk of finding all the air reserves bled
off, thus having to manually raise one pan to get things going.
