Let me clarify this. 
  At Harvard, the upper level tracks are outbound and the lower level
tracks are inbound.
  At Porter, on the other hand, the upper level tracks are INBOUND and
the outbound is on the LOWER level.
  I think Porter is lower than Harvard, so this means that the
outbound track drops much more than the inbound track. Why was it
designed this way? Wouldn't it have been easier to have the same track
on the top at both stations?
