Dear Ken,
I recall that there are sundials at train stations around the US.  I think
that we may have seen 2 in Chicago's near north suburbs during the NASS dial
tour there in 1997.  One was by Stephen Luecking in Highland Park, IL. 
(images are at http://www.depaul.edu/~slueckin/founderspage.htm).  Another
was an analemmatic sundial (exact location eludes me right now, possibly
Glencoe?).

And I recently heard of one installed by New Jersey Transit in a station in
South Orange, New Jersey.  (my home town, although I had nothing to do with
this, much to my father's chagrin!)  

Cheers,
Sara
