Money Train (1995) is a movie starring Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson and Jennifer Lopez in one of her first roles.
The three work as New York City transit cops. After losing his job, Harrelson's character plots to hijack and then rob the "money train" which hauls collected fare revenues for the New York City Subway from the system's stations.
The subway car used as the money train in the film is a modified R22 subway car. The rolling stock was modified by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and film crew into an imposing subway train covered in silver armor plating and equipped with flashing orange lights and sliding barred doors, like those on a jail cell. After production, the car was donated to the New York Transit Museum. The actual money train resembled a normal maintenance train painted yellow with black diagonal stripes. The New York City subway system retired its money trains in 2006; the introduction of the MetroCard and computerized vending machines that allowed fare payment by credit card have dramatically reduced the number of coins stored in subway stations.
The film was vilified for its portrayal of a man setting fire to token booths, a crime that was repeated in real life after the film's release.
