The special traincar used to vacuum garbage and debris from the subway tracks...

that's exciting. i like things like that, though i do wonder why.
i also like how the driver seems to have a tudor ruff and is looking at a cartoon of a ghostie with his hands up... or is that just me?

like the ever-fleeting career of wesley snipes and woody harrelson, the money train is frequently mistaken for one of the vacuum trains. until you see the armed guards peeking through one of the windows trash talking about catching a turnstile jumper across the face with the butt of a 12-gauge

it always bothered me that the real money trains dont look nearly as cool as the ones in the movie. remember when the mta installed fire-extinguisher systems in every token booth cause of that movie?
i used to see the money train cross the broadway bridge almost every day, on the 1/9 line.

the booths had the systems long before the film ever came out. They had a RR Clerk burn to death in their booth when some scumbag doing a holdup torched the booth. It was sometime after *that* I think that was Elderts Lane on the J.

Vacuum Train-Its just big fiasco, driver sleeps while driving, other maintenance crew leaves the tracks and other stuff on the floor and we already had two accidents, one train is completely garbage(Costed 41 Million)second one-MTA/NY Transit "Skilled !" union workers opened it completely now it has problem everday and no body know how to fix it. Transit went to France to buy it but never made maintenance or other kind of support contract for this unique piece of machinary.
