HAD to post this here......enjoy!
https://patch.com/new-york/upper-west-side-nyc/where-59th-street-subway-station-new-indiana-jones-trailer (interesting little article!)
Note the timeless 1950's-era turnstiles (ahhh, the memories!); I wonder if these might have been supplied by the NYCTM?
Maybe it's just Your's Truly, but, given the first three letters of INDiana's first name, I would have thought that he (and his thundering steed!) would have stampeding through the "Eye-En-Dee"(!!)
Still.............

Compare the ventilation grills seen here at the IND's "G"/"GG" station at Myrtle-Willoughby (Stan Fischer's "home" station for many years) with those seen in the photo seen in the first link I posted here, regarding Indiana Jones storming the subway..........

Though this is, of course, an "Eye-En-Dee" station (145th Street), this 2010 photo is eerily reminiscent of the decades of decay ever-visible at the "Bee-Em-Tee's" Chambers Street station (ol' INDiana would clearly feel right at home in either station!)...............

Scroll down the page for an (interesting) photo of a gray-haired INDy ridin' the rails 'neath the streets of "Noo Yawk" (yeah, the other passengers DO seem to be attired a bit on the "wild side", but, hey, after all, it IS "Noo Yawk!)
This car is clearly based on an older model; note the roller curtain box just glimpsed on the left, also, note the subway map..............

The one on DeKalb Avenue is in fact typical of "Eye-Are-Tee" and "Bee-Em-Tee" stations built and tiled as part of the "Dual Contracts." Notice the last three "Bee-Em-Tee" stations built and opened - Broad Street and Fulton Street on the Nassau Street line, the Eighth Avenue terminus of 14th Street - were originally tiled "Eye-En-Dee" style itself. No doubt had any "Eye-Are-Tee" underground station been built and opened in the '30's, it too would have had its look "Eye-En-Dee'd." |

W.B.:
Agreed 100%.
I have often thought that, had the "Eye-Are-Tee" opened either new "on line" stations (or, as part of a new line) during the 1930s, the overall design/tilework of the stations indeed would have reflcted the "Eye-En-Dee" (look at how the "Bee-Ess-Ess" in Philly (opened in 1928, four years before the "Eye-En-Dee") indeed had a strong (dare I say?) INDpedent look to it, reflecting the upcoming era of the 8th and 6th Avenue lines, during the 1930s.
Also, recall the "Aitch & EM's" new 33rd Street station of 1940; it, too, clearly reflected the "modern" styling of the 8th And 6th Avenue subways........

Wb.:
Talk about "NOSTALGIA".........Your's Truly (when he was MUCH, MUCH younger!) clearly recalls this incandescent-lit entrance sign at 33rd Street, directing passengers to the IRT/BMT/PATH...........

33rd Street, just prior to the "PA" car-era (ahhh, what happy childhood memories this timeless scene evokes!)
Note the spacious, modern layout here; this easily could have been an "Eye-En-Dee" terminal station........
