Yeah, but I still don't get how a train car equals an "L".  :P

We were heroes. We were villains. At the end of the world we all fought as one. It's what we did that defines us.
The end occurred pretty much as we predicted: all servers redlining until midnight... and then no servers to go around.

Somewhere beyond time and space, if you look hard you might find a flash of silver trailing crimson: a lone lost Spartan on his way home.

My best guess is that it's "the L-train." Which is a term I've heard, but never known how you distinguish it from other trains.

L, as in 'El', as in 'Elevated', as the guy above you said.

Most famous in the US is Chicago's system probably. The trains operate on tracks above street level. Think of it as an "aboveway" instead of a subway.

Everything you need to know in life can be learned from The Blues Brothers movie.

At least that's where I first saw the 'L'.

What I want to know is how do they keep up with the crashed cop car removal, that must get pretty expensive. Although unlike snow removal they could be selling the wrecks as scrap I suppose.
