Spiderman 2

Don%26#39;t worry I don%26#39;t think he%26#39;s real, but I can%26#39;t guarantee I won%26#39;t be looking out for him when we visit in October!

I am just interested to know where the subway was - in the bit when he stopped the train just before it went over the edge into the water?

Thanks

Hi Cathy. There are no such above ground trains in Manhattan. All the subways in Manhattan are underground. This little bit of fiction was also seen in the Batman movie. I guess the writers like the look of the train passing overhead. The subways outside Manhattan do run above ground. You can also take the Roosevelt Island tram.

I%26#39;m sure it%26#39;s true, the bit in the movie was fictitious but the subway does go above ground. In fact, about 40% of the subway is above ground.

I don%26#39;t know of an above ground subway station in Manhattan proper. Above Central Park, the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens, sure.
