A four car train of 1920s MU cars southbound at 171st Street (about four blocks from the terminal) heading for the Washington Park horse track.
The train is going underneath the Tri-State Tollway. After the Washington Park grandstands burned one evening in a major fire, no further trains operated on this branch.
About two years later the track and overhead was removed.
