   I think both.  That is, I _think_ the interior was an M-8 (based   
   on the seats), while the exterior was an M-3 with red striping to   
   look like an Amtrak train.   
      
   I don't know the model of the subway car interior featured in a   
   recent episode.  But I'm guessing an R-44 or R-46.   
      
   I wish I knew where the various scenes were filmed, and what   
   buildings were used as backdrops.   
      
   Generally, it's hard to identify locations since they closely   
   crop the image, and backgrounds are out of focus.  (Maybe if I   
   had high-def and a large screen TV I could tell more.)
