Facts About Underground Subway Systems

Subway trains, also known as metros or underground railways, transport millions of city residents daily beneath urban streets. They run on electricity supplied by a third rail located along the tracks or overhead power lines. Because subway tunnels are dark, trains rely on powerful headlights and illuminated station platforms for navigation and safety.

Real Colors of Underground Subway Trains

  • Subway car body: Stainless steel silver, gray, or bright yellow accent lines
  • Front windshield: Black or dark gray safety glass frame
  • Headlights: Bright yellow or white beam bulbs
  • Subway tracks: Dark gray steel rails laid over concrete or wooden ties
