The story
In New York City, four men wearing similar disguises and carrying concealed weapons board the same downtown 6 train, "Pelham 1-2-3," at different stations.
Garber surmises that one hijacker must be a former motorman because the hijackers uncoupled the head car and parked it further down the tunnel below 28th Street.
As two patrolmen carry the money down the tunnel, one of the many police snipers in the tunnel shoots at Brown, and the hijackers exchange gunfire with them.
