No photograph ran with the online version of New York Post reporter Jeremy Olshan's story about the New York City Transit using barricades to block some ubway exits near Yankee Stadium.

The visuals are kind of essential to a) show how really bad an idea this is, and b) prove that it really happened.

So, here you go, courtesy of a well-informed reader.

The barricades, according to Olshan's story, have been removed. But still, how did they get there?

Hearings, anyone?

Azi: I was there yesterday (9/20/7) during evening rush hour. It is back up, just like in your photo. I took a photo with my phone. Email me if you would like me to send it to you.
