The train was parked just south of the 86th St. station in Fort Hamilton Monday afternoon when a transit worker noticed the lead car was missing the so-called "master controller," sources told the Daily News.

The actor and his filmmaker wife, Jo Andres, sold their brownstone at 460 Fifth Street for $4.99 million, according to a deed posted Monday.
