Ok i'll bite. what's a "black List?"
Are you talking about the TV show? (I haven't seen the show yet but I hear it's getting very good reviews.) I'm not familiar with Museums R36. Is that a subway line or something?

R36 was a class of New York subway car. Museums refers to the New York Transit Museum fleet of retired subway cars. The New York Transit Museum is located in a former subway station at Court Street in Brooklyn.
The subway cars themselves are in a paint scheme launched for the New York World's Fair of 1964-65.
The Bkack List is a series on HBO
Actually, Black List is the top rated new drama series on NBC. Transit Museum's R36 was the stand-in this week for a Washington Metro under a gas attack by Black List's villain of the week. For subway nerds, however, this really was a disaster. Not only do the exteriors/interiors look nothing like the Metro, the 100 year old station is a poor substitute for the real Metro's elegant vaulted ceilings.
I understand Metro will not allowing filming on its property, so prior Metro-involved plots have used Baltimore and Montreal as work-arounds.
Kinda off topic.....but the shows giving instructions on Terror just seem wrong.....I know it happens without the shows.....but gives ideas to a few loose nuts.
The Jackal with Bruce Willis finishes up at Metro Center in DC. The real Metro Center on the real DC Metro. There must have been huge budget trimming to use the R36s as the DC metro,

Check out that final "Jackal" subway chase with Bruce Willis, and you'll see him dodging would-be Metro trains that are actually rubber-tired Montreal Metros. And if you look closely, you'll notice those speeding blue trains are actually computer images, not the "real" thing.
sorry I brought it up

That's what happens when you DVR everything. Bummer for DC fans, score for NY fans
