 The Pelham 123:

I'm trying to get better pictures, but I had to play this movie with an alternate mediaplayer, so they are a bit small. I had to resize them.

 The Pelham 123 is a R21 Series subway car built by St. Louis Car Company in 1956.

 @rjluna, not a lot of well visible train signals.

I always find this kind of old electronics much more fascinating ("how was that working?") than today's displays (as a programmer, I know how work software using computers and monitors for display, but these old ones are something else :D)

 Indeed, antp. I suspected that they are using the telephone lights. I have quite a few in my collection.

 I agree, it is quite fascinating how they were able to monitor subway lines with primitive technology, especially when you compare it to the much more modern technology that was being used in the 2009 remake of Taking of Pelham.

The MTA just posted a Youtube video about the technology used to run the current system; and I was actually surprised that they are currently still using the old-style switchboards and relays seen in the original Taking of Pelham movie.

 But IIRC in the movie the panels show trains moving along the line. The real panels just show whether a signalling block is occupied, because track circuits can tell you exactly where a train is.

The R21 series subway car was also used as the Money Train itself in the 1995 film "The Money Train".
