R1Toasty Posted February 13, 2008 Share #5 Posted February 13, 2008 R62As at Schermerhorn? Great, great, but can't we use IRT here? Most New Yorkers would know that a would never be at Schermerhorn, but the majority of the rest of the world wouldn't I suppose. That's cool though, lucky actors, getting to use the forbidden platform... Also, that's only a 6 car train, yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 13, 2008 Share #6 Posted February 13, 2008 That R62A is a . I saw it last night on Smith-9 Streets when I got home from work. I watched it head towards Coney Island on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cool though, lucky actors, getting to use the forbidden platform... Also, that's only a 6 car train, yeah? Remember, the use the same tracks for the original Pelham 1-2-3 and also many movies were filmed in Hoyt-Scermerhorn. Usually they take the signs off and the station poses for another station. Here's a few examples: The Warriors (Posed as 96th Street ) Nighthawks (Posed as 57th and 42nd Street ( ) Coming To America (Posed as Supthin Blvd. ) Men In Black II (Posed as 81st Street ) A short scene in Ghost (Can't tell ya) and a few I missed. Don't be surprised if you see R62A's at Church Avenue a very popular filming spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1Toasty Posted February 13, 2008 Share #8 Posted February 13, 2008 Well, I knew they used the tracks to Court St, but the way I understand it, they were filming at Schermerhorn. Poser stations are cool though, especially the abandoned parts... gives us a rare glimpse at things hardly seen in better detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTransitFan Posted February 13, 2008 Share #9 Posted February 13, 2008 I figured they would be wrapping up the movie by now. So I see they are still filming it. I can't wait to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I know that but I you watch real closely when Sayze was fighting with the subway ghost they pass though a Station. It only noticeable for like five seconds but i can tell from the thick pillars that it was Hoyt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Local Posted February 13, 2008 Share #12 Posted February 13, 2008 Do they need extras in the movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelham Bay Dave Posted February 14, 2008 Share #13 Posted February 14, 2008 They used that area between Hoyt and Court St for the first Pelham 1,2,3. I guess will see how this turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
