   On a recent evening, Mr. Habersham walked along the train tracks near 34th Street
   in Manhattan as workers replaced antiquated switches and cables. A signal system
   should last about 50 years, he said, but the one that guides trains through this
   slice of Manhattan has been in place for about 80.
