I'd seen this shot in my head dozens of times before, but never had the right seat on an uncrowded train. I sat in the very front seat and placed the camera on the divider between the front seat and doorway/stairwell. Holding the camera firmly to the divider kept everything inside the car in sharp focus and blurred everything outside of the car. This is a 1s plus exposure, which is why you can't make out the train speeding by outside, and the car in front of this one is shaky.
