BroadwayLion The signal dolly is the two yellow cars on the train. On railroads, nowadays, they can drive up to the signal with a truck and do whatever it is they need to do. On the subway this is not possible. This train carries all of the equipment to repair or replace any sort of signal, and because a crane cannot be used in a tunnel, the hoists or whatever, I have not seen them in action, can access whatever it is they need to do. The motor cars are the pair of stainless cars at each end of the train. The crews live in there. Even hi-rail trucks cannot be used in the subway due to exhaust gasses. ROAR

NYCTA has several diesel locomotives, and they just ordered a new batch of genset units. I've seen the diesels being used on the Lexington Av. line a couple of times in work trains.
The main reason NYCTA does not use hi rail trucks is a lack of places to get on and off the tracks. The only grade crossing I can remember on the subway is near the end of the Carnarsie (LL) line.

Those photos look awful. Looks like a bad underexposed photo was saturated with 100% color saturation. Maybe some people think they look good but they are a eyesore to me.
What is a Signal Dolly? I presume something the signals.
The Signal Dolly at 207th Street
As someone who was born in NYC these pics bring back a lot memories. I used to live on Riverside Dr across from Grants Tomb.
The pics of the 125th St station on the number 1 line bring back a lot memories. Also moved to Brooklyn. Used to catch the Brighton Line from Kings Highway.
Kind of interesting to see the "New" Coney Island trainshed roof.
Many Thx IGN
rdgk1se3019 WOW!!! Really cool pics. I first read about the photo software you are using in Popular Mechanics or Pop-Sci years ago......but I forgot the name of it..........where can one go to get the software you use?

It is Photomatix. I also use Helicon software for increasing the depth of field especially for model photographs.

Lake, thanks for your comment. LION'S *like* comments almost as much as Wildebeests,
Wow, lots more nice photos.
Every so often I see one that will make a great desktop background so I use it for awhile unto some thing else captures my attention.
The one with the switcher from the 04-23 posting is the one I am using now.

Some Subway Stations are More Equal than Others:
But this station was built, perhaps as a headquarters station the New York, Westchester and Boston (NYW&B) Railroad.
But that railroad is no more. A few miles of it remains as the NYCT Dyre Avenue Line.
