Not above the white light itself, but rather above the closest (or highest in the photo) of its reflections off shiney cross beams framing the subway structure. (It is not a light, it is a reflection of the light.)
Actually, it is the light pouring in through the tunnel portal at Grant Avenue. The LION is standing on the right side of the tunnel at that point.
ROAR
The Route of the Broadway Lion The Largest Subway Layout in North Dakota.
Here there be cats. LIONS with CAMERAS
The dark dot in the opening?
There is a white stripe running down the platform. Lion is next to that, about the same distance from the camera as the train.
Looking west (RR north) at an eastbound (RR southbound) A train at the Grant Avenue Station in Brooklyn.

Looking compass south at Metropolitan Avenue in Queens at an arriving (M) train.
My face is red but a lot has changed at Metropolitan Avenue since I was there. Compass South there is also RR South. The current M reverses railroad direction between Essex and Delancy Street and Houston St. and 2nd Avenue or Broadway Laffyette.
Ridewithmehenry trouped though there last fall...Stopped at Fresh Pond Rd for lunch and realized there was at one time a trolley line under the route of the M train and a bus garage, too. What hit me was that I had remembered seeing the line with trolley an eon or two ago as a kid! Today, weeds and bushes to the south and bus garage, nee trolley barn, on the right!

Yup
My memories also. Rode the Mytle Avenue trolley its last night. Also Jamaica Avenue.
LION is perched atop the arrow on the sign so he can stay out of the way of passengers. I'm not familiar with New York so I don't know the location. LION should really visit Chicago.
Well, I think he is at 8th Avenue....
Back to Dyckman-200th Street looking sourth on the southbound platform with Lion post at the bottom of the drain pipe about 2/5ths up from the bottom to the top at the extreme left edge of the picture.
I have no idea where this is...however I think the Lion on the red board at the platform edge, at right.
BroadwayLionMetropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and New York City Transit (NYCT) officials yesterday marked the completion of a two-year, $31 million rehabilitation project at the Dyckman Street Station.The project included the addition of a state-of-the-art elevator from the station mezzanine to the southbound platform, and major repairs to the station's exterior and interior finishes, MTA officials said in a press release."We have been able to fully rehabilitate this historic station improving the structural aspects and customer amenities while retaining the unique architectural features that have made this station so visually special," NYCT President Carmen Bianco said.After years of deferred maintenance, the finished station now has new concrete platforms, a refurbished Fort George Tunnel Portal, new platform windscreens, new canopies that include salvaged wood rafters, and a refurbished control area with restored historic finishes.In addition to the Dyckman Street Station work, MTA officials noted the completion of $23 million in repairs at five other NYCT stations: 207 Street, 215 Street, 225 Street, 238 Street and Van Cortlandt Park-242 Street. Platform edges and canopies were replaced at all five stations.
The other end of the LION...
This is, of course, the original Broadway line South Ferry Station, temporarily in use while repairs post-Sandy are made to the stub-end new station. And Lion appears to be on the stairway at the west end of the platform, pixwise, just to the left of the middle green post.
I'd love to see the pix when you finish modeling this station in detail!
I don't think that there is a LION on the stairs.
LION is sitting on top of the arrow on the green post.
Is he glued there or did he metamorph into a caterpillar?
Lion appears to sit on the horizontal cable runs on the concrete wall, slightly to the left of half way between the 1st and 2nd light fixtures.
Dave is right. On the lower picture, Lion is the top of the black corrugated wall.
