It was a temporary stunt as part of a city-wide cleanup. The goal was to give a "first class experience" to commuters.

This photo was colorized at some point, likely recently, because it's fairly well done.

The "ghost" in the window is just someone outside the train looking in, and not colorized. The train is stopped at the station.
