Former Tampa Bay Buccaneer fullback Mike "The A-Train" Alstott remains an all-time fan favorite for his accomplishments on and off the field. He played 12 seasons as a fullback, racking up 5,088 yards rushing; 71 touchdowns (a team record); six Pro Bowls; and a 2002 Super Bowl championship. He was also injured nearly 50 times and was given prescription painkillers to get him through the pain and back on the field. Fortunately, Alstott, now 41 years old and a head coach for a St. Petersburg high school football team, came through it all without experiencing an overdose or becoming dependent on painkillers, something he credits to having trainers and physicians on his side who helped him understand how to take them safely.

The orphan trains finally stopped in 1930 for several reasons, including a decreased need for farm labor in the Midwest and increased efforts by social service agencies to keep struggling families together. The rise of the welfare system made a major difference, helping with financial support for children, who, in an earlier age, might have taken to the streets(Warren, 1998)

The tale of the 4 train depicts the story of the type of people that already live in Jerome Avenue, and those who don’t. As the 4 train keeps going uptown towards the Bronx, there are less white people and t people of color become the majority of the subway riders. Eventually the train makes its last stop in Manhattan when it reaches the 125th street stop, the train is then filled black and brown faces, and there aren’t any other white faces unless its game day at the Yankee Stadium. The people that are coming from one of the richest zip codes, Wall Street, and those in between are long gone; and the people that have endured the long train ride uptown are left to ride the train along Jerome Avenue. This image somehow reflects the white flight that occurred decades earlier in the Bronx, as people of color settled while white people moved out as the borough experienced urban decay. Not only did the Bronx survive, but so did the people of color that dealt and endured the harsh realities that still lingers in the Bronx in present day.

About thirty to forty children rode these trains with only two to three adults. They were told that they were going out west, but the children really had no idea what that meant. Most of them had never been outside of New York.

The train slows and stops, and we are introduced to Sean Thornton, the main character, as he exits onto the platform; this also serves as a use of the doorway icon, as Sean passes from the safety of the train through the passenger-car's door into the unknown world he has entered. The train conductor and station-master then advise him which way to get to Innisfree, but they give conflicting information; this is Ford's dramatic rhythm at work. The conductor asserts several facts about the location of Innisfree, and is contradicted by the other men from the town, and finally the next shot provides an assertion with strong comedic value: we see Sean's bags picked up and carried away by another major character, Michaeleen Og Flynn, who tells Sean that Innisfree is "this way." This is also symbolic of Sean's introduction into the community, guided by established member Michaeleen. The last shot of the scene shows the train leaving the station over a bridge, as Sean and Michaeleen ride into the countryside in a horse-drawn carriage, under the bridge, which functions also as a gateway icon, between the past of America for Sean, and his future in the Irish country.

There are many things going on and multiple pieces overlapping each other in an unusual way. There really isn’t a place for your eye to rest or focus on. Based off the the title, one can assume that these are African American people on a train. When speaking about his collage, Bearden said that “trains could take you away and could also bring you to where you were. And in the little towns it's the black people who live near the trains”. Bearden uses this piece to express how he saw segregation and how it influenced his life. Living during the Harlem Renaissance and the Great Migration, Bearden experienced what it is like being in a place that was continuously being populate by more and more African Americans. African Americans were migrating to the North and West by train and Bearden’s collage is his way of depicting

Mystery Train is a 1989 film directed by Jim Jarmusch as part of an independent anthology of films. This movie and the others in the anthology feature a strong travel aspect and represents America as a peculiar land of many strangers and stories. Mystery Train has a more complex narrative structure then Jarmusch’s previous films, he described his intent for the film as “episodic but simultaneous”. This was achieved by showing the film from 3 different points of views that occupy the same space and time, all of which are connected by the same hotel and a gunshot. The events take place simultaneously but are presented sequentially.

The image of the train appears several times; including when Big Boy heads home for the final time. “Big Boy slowed when he came to the railroad. He wondered if he ought to go through the streets or down the track. He decided on the tracks. He could dodge a train better than a mob.” In this section, the train serves as the carrier of Big Boy’s adulthood. By staying on the tracks he believes he is still innocent; still hidden from the mob that is after Big Boy because he murdered—certainly a crime not associated with youthful innocence. Because Big Boy is black, he never really has true innocence. He has to be mindful of his surroundings at all times, knowing that whites are always out to get him. But whatever

The story of “Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat” is very simple. Honestly, I don’t think there is a story in this film; it seems to me like someone just stopped at the train station and filmed the train arriving. This film is one very short scene that last for not more than 5 minutes, and I believe the idea of the filmmaker was to create an audience’s reaction, and to let the audience make up their own story of the movie. There is no conflict or characterization in this movie, it’s only the train arriving to the station and people getting off the train and leaving or arriving to the train station. I guess the resolution is very simple, the train has arrived!
