Continuing our countdown to Valentine’s Day, today’s love-and-transit moments are for the real romantics out there.

We love trains here at Metro because they bring people together. (Admittedly, when it’s crowded, sometimes a little too close together.) In Falling in Love (1984) Meryl Streep bonds with Robert De Niro, whom she keeps bumping into on the Metro North Commuter Rail. In the film’s final scene, it all comes full circle in true Hollywood fashion:

But a train ride can also force us to say farewell–sometimes before we’re ready. Such is the case in the classic French musical Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) when Geneviève (Catherine Deneuve) must say goodbye to her love Guy (Nino Castelnuovo) after he is drafted to fight in the Algerian War. Can you say Où sont les Kleenex?
