It's L or El. And it doesn't apply to a city that has mostly subways.

Also: the Chicago train is the "L", not the "El".

Way back when there were elevated trains in manhattan (ie: 3rd Ave) it was referred to as the "El". There are still plenty of elevated trains in the Bronx, Queen, and Brooklyn. While they may not be officially known at "The El", the name on this artwork is still relevant.

The El is in Chicago, not the Bronx.
