This is a photograph of the inside of Boston’s MBTA control room, and it is unbelievably impressive. You can view more pictures of their horribly ugly subway cars at their site. What I really can’t understand, is how the hell they have such a mind boggling control room, and are billions of dollars in debt to the state of Massachusetts, and yet somehow they have the most horribly unreliable service I have ever seen in a major city.

This place isn’t being used anymore, but it is still completely preserved and you can go visit it.

They haven’t released any photos of current mission control that I know of, most likely because it would be some sort of security risk, but based on the current progression, I would guess it looks something like this:
