NYC Subway, line-by-line
The New York City subway, with all extant lines and connections as well as an attached set of layers for defunct portions of extant lines. Provided in .kml format, because Google Earth is all I have to work with, but should be openable in other globe viewer programs too.

Ghostbusters (2016, Paul Feig)
28/11/2023
Ghostbusters is a 2016 film directed by Paul Feig.
The film marks the reboot of the series of the same name, with a new team of female Ghostbusters, played by Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones.
Abby Yates and Erin Gilbert are two theoretical physics scholar who together wrote a book in which they argue that paranormal phenomena, such as ghosts, really exist. Abby, Erin and Jillian witness the first physical manifestation of a ghost they have ever seen, filming it and posting the video on YouTube, which leads to Erin's immediate dismissal and her loss of all credibility as a scientist by the entire community university.
Abby, Erin and Jillian manage to capture the ghost with their proton packs and film the operation, but their footage is once again mocked by the Internet public. Patty decides to join the team, making herself useful as she knows New York city very well and provides the group with a vehicle, a repurposed Cadillac hearse borrowed from her uncle.
When Rowan plants one of the devices in a venue where a heavy metal concert is being held, the Ghostbusters are called in and capture the ghost in front of the audience.
During the credits, Patty listens to a recording of an encounter with a ghost and asks the other three Ghostbusters if they have ever heard of Zuul.
~ Abigail "Abby" Yates, played by Melissa McCarthy, is a scholar of the paranormal world, willing to do anything to prove her theories.
~ Erin Gilbert, played by Kristen Wiig, Abby's best friend, was nominated to become a professor at Columbia University, a job she lost after it was revealed she co-authored a book about ghosts with Yates.
~ Jillian Holtzmann, played by Kate McKinnon, is a nuclear engineer, rebellious and courageous.
