We thought those little underground trains were SO cool back then, and everyone was really proud/smug to know that that was what the factory scenes were REALLY of. Hey, it's Houston, not LA. We're still not too used to having our landmarks pop up on the screen. One last airport train memory. My brother back in the '70's spent a night with a buddy, stoned off their asses, riding the little trains around all night long, just for entertainment. Couldn't do THAT nowadays! Land in jail as a terrorist ("No officer, I'm not a terrorist, I'm just a stoner!" "Oh, whew, Son, you had us scared there!"). Times have changed indeed.
