**Commissioner Barry Onyx*** Caldera City Subway System was built using over 16 million bricks.
* If you were to pile them up top to tail they would extend a staggering 2,137 miles into the Earth's atmosphere.
 *At 2 stars*

**Commissioner Barry Onyx*** Construction began on the Muckingham to Caldera City branch line in 1920, funded by local businessman Wilberforce Thrust, who was keen to provide an efficient means of transporting his work force from the city to his thriving cattle ranches.
 *At 3 stars*

**Commissioner Barry Onyx*** The subway was reopened again following extensive repointing in 1923 by Mayor Jeff Jefferson XI.

## Trivia

* The access equipment available in the level is: Ladder x1.
* This level's gnome is located by turning around and facing the Subway Gates directly behind the player's starting position. In the subway tunnel to the left, behind the boards, there is a gnome high up on the inside of the turn.
* The subway platforms have been closed since 1984; if the game is based in 2020/2021, then they've been closed for roughly 36/37 years. The dirt design is meant to reflect nearly 40 years of abandonment, covering a 'time-capsule' of the '80s.
* Wilberforce Thrust is the great-grandfather of Blake Thrust the Billionaire. Mayor Jeff Jefferson X is the great-grandfather of Mayor Jeff Jefferson XIII and Bertha Jefferson; he is also mentioned during Clean The Steam Locomotive.
* The Advertising Boards have references to previous jobs and characters:
	+ Mayor Jeff Jefferson XII was running for election in 1984, the same year the platform was closed. He is the current Mayor's father.
	+ The ad for the City Stadium Caldera Tour features Grandpa Miller's Car.
	+ The ad for Kevin Bernard's Funfair prominently features the Helter Skelter. In the background, silhouettes of both the Carousel and Ferris Wheel can be seen.
	+ The movie poster for *Driving Me Nuts*, starring Esther De'Ath, features the Vintage Car. The movie is produced by 'FuturFilms', which is likely a nod to the game's developer, FuturLab.
* The Subway Maps, Train Schedule Boards, and Platform Screens show Muckingham in relation to other towns such as Detergento and Sparkleton.
* Many surfaces in the Subway Platform are covered in graffiti. This includes the Main Ceiling Supports and all 8 Advertising Boards. The green and orange graffiti patterns are repeated throughout the level; these contain 'PWS' (as in, PowerWash Simulator) both normal and reversed. Some examples can be seen below in the Graffiti Gallery.
* When creating the Advertising Board posters, the developers looked at photos from the 1980s New York subway for inspiration.
* An early version of the Subway Map did not have Muckingham at the end of the orange 2 line. There were also multiple stops that got changed before release.
