Cool to see some traces of my home town making it into a prop. Doesn't happen that often.

I know it reminded me on some place. Yeah, Stockholm, great city. Think I did a similar photo once being there two years ago.
Yup, Stockholm. If you go there, check out the subway.

Subways are the only reason I go to other cities.
...cool.
Here in Portland we have a Pride bus.
They need to do this to one of the LRT trams as well.
Cal;l that a subway? This is a subway....
...the City Hall Station in New York City is a pretty ornate one, but it's been abandoned for years There is even a Daz Model based on it.
Daz Model.
Last time I was in one, was a Victorian one in London, and the power went out. Everyone had to climb a circular staircase to get up I don't know how many floors to the square above us. I have had issues with closed in spaces ever since, especially circular car parks under buidlings. But before that, as a Californian who had never experienced subways before, I thought the ones in London and Paris were wonderful and magical.
I don't suppose there is a preset with the subway to get rid of the rainbow colors is there? I like the look of the subway product and it would probably work great for a project I have, but don't need the rainbow colors. Normally I could redo the texture in photoshop, but since it's on rock, that might make it more difficult, so thought I would ask for anyone with the product.
...the first subways I rode on were in Chicago in the 1960s. Also rode on the New York City system, the DC Metro, and Bart. Whenever I can finally get to the UK would love to ride the Underground, the oldest subway system in the world which also served as air raid shelters during the bombing raids on London in WWII.
There is also a subway in Los Angeles that began service in 1990.
Here in Portland the west line LRT goes through a 4.7 long KM tunnel cut into ridge of steep hills just west of downtown so for a bit it is sort of like a subway. Seattle also has a transit tunnel under 3rd Ave and Pine St which handles both buses and LRT trains.
Is this in eastern Europe?
Moscow Metro.
I am sorry you had such a nasty experience. However, it disabused you of the notion that London is magical, which was important and useful. I live 40 miles downwind of London & have to put up with the airborn effluent that it emits. No pleasant. Not as unpleasant as it used to be, but still not pleasant, and on hot days you can see the brown haze on the horizon in one direction & not the other depending on wind direction. I avoid the place wherever possible. I think the last time I ventured into the city was 5 years ago. Can't say I miss visiting.
I was stationed in England for 4 years with my son in the late 1980s. And yes, the soot we cleaned off after a day moving around under London on a Day Pass was worrisome. But, the train from Ipswich to London, and the Tube was a freeing way for someone who grewup chained to cars to move around and discovered different parts of London on weekends. This was especially true as serious health issues hit both of us during out stay and limited our ability to travel around Great Britain. My son is in his 40s now and remembers your culture, history, and country fondly. Of course, I could have done without him trying to swim the English Channel at 11 with a buddy and losing a shoe. Or bringing live ammo home after base cops practiced war games around our home. But the British Nursing Sister who cared for him in hospital when he almost died always has my thanks and his love.
I grew up using the NYC subway system...
One of the cool features most people who are just visiting don't realize is you can actually tell what stations you are at, just by the different pee smells... many different areas have developed their own unique bouquet of odors based on humidity, unique diet of the local urinators, different types of alcohols consumed, local molds and microbial activity etc...
I'm not advocating it, nor do I think the MTA should add this information to their subway maps, but it's a thing.
Heh, I figured it was in Russia, but decided to play it safe and just guess eastern Europe, I could tell by the art style/deco it had to be Russia!
...some of the Chicago ones had a similar"quality". The "EL" wasn't nearly as bad. but that was above the streets and outside.
