Thanks. I wonder why they have head and tail lights?


Yes, I wondered that. Perhaps for the benefit of (rare) track workers?


Probably because the same equipment runs outside in other places. The
Dallas-Fort Worth system is elevated,


I'm pretty sure the original one was like a roller-coaster, at or below
ground level (see below) and diving under the roads. Only four terminals
then.
