Local trains have circles and Express have diamonds (except on older cars,
in which it'll have a red LOCAL light or a green EXPRESS light, but you're

As far as I know in the regular MTA map (
http://web.mta.info/maps/submap.html) for any given line the stations with
black dots are locals and the ones with white dots are combination/express
ones. So you just have to take a look at what train numbers/letters stop in
those stations to know which
