The trains I rode when I was a young girl. A train rumbles into Coney Island as another rolls out (below it). That gentleman was telling us about a scene in the Warriors movie filmed here.

M7's race each other inbound on the "route of the dashing commuter". The unique position light signals are still in use on the busy LIRR.
