On NYC Subways except 42nd St Shuttle and (G) trains, there is Train Engineer/Operator and Conductors. On 42nd St Shuttle and (G) train, there are two train engineers who also does conductor. On Franklin Av Shuttle, Weekend (L) train, Late Night (5) Shuttle Dyre Av-E. 180th St, only one train engineers operating. It depends on subway fleets and directions of subway lines at station platform are clearly marked to indicate which direction. Also depends on subway fleets, train destination are not marked in front, but to side of trains. From 7th Av-53rd St, take downtown (E) train to world Trade Center and new technology trains makes "This is World Trade Center-bound (E) train."
