I take it the real R142s can't run as single units.

It looked like an old station that had "Roosevelt" on the columns. Was that a movie set or was it the abandoned Roosevelt Avenue Terminal Station?

The platform you see in the movie is one of the local tracks at Hoyt-Schermerhorn with a mock wall.

Each end car had a full width motor cab at the end that might be the end of a train, with the other car ends within the group are open passenger space.

I don't know if the 1998 Pelham was ever released onto DVD or not. Are there any websites that show screenshots/clips of the 1998 Pelham?Believe me, man, you damn sure did not miss anything!! That remake was the biggest disgrace ever!! The 2009 one was better than that one!!
