Without a lot of preamble, in 1959 two Yalies recorded a comedy album, Bert & I, and one of the stories is about a man who travels from eastern Maine to Oyster Bay by train. His instructions include taking the shuttle from Grand Central and, when it stops, follow the red lights and hop on the train to Penn Station. When he gets to "the end", ie Times Square, he finds two sets of red lights. I can't find any reference to lights online. Were there a line or line of lights, red or otherwise, used for directing transfers at Times Square? Are there still?
