Braintree: Schindler Escalators @ Nordstrom, South Shore Plaza

These are the Schindler (thought Monty/KONE originally) Escalators, in the Nordstrom, South Shore Plaza, Braintree, Massachusetts.
These ride very well, although you can't get a good view of the store, like you usually can in 3-story department stores, due to the narrow escalator pit.
One minor nag, is a bouncy handrail on the Down Escalator, going from upper, to mid level.

I think that the green light is a bit of a lighter tint on the Schindlers than Montgomery Kone. That is how I could tell.

@alexweb8

I can tell, when there's a nameplate on them. :)

I wonder why there's a light under the steps? Probably to see the step edges, prior to the yellow lines painted onto them.

@georgef551 I'm pretty sure you're right about the light. Most Schindlers that I have seen have the name engraved right at the ingress and egress, but perhaps they stopped doing that on the newer models.

@alexweb8

Either that, or it's added upon request.

I've seen Otis escalators without the tags, but there's a clear indented void where the logo should've gone.

@georgef551 That's another possibility. I guess it looks more upscale without them.

@alexweb8

I aggree. It makes it a bit harder to tell what they are, though.
