definitely - shot from the very Elysian Park mentioned earlier - it's an 
early scene where Brando is talking to Karl Malden. You can see some 
barges and tugs going by as well.

I think we've had a few threads about this over the years - I kept a 
list from those discussions:

Three Days of The Condor - (Hoboken Terminal)
Manhattan - (Hoboken Terminal)
The Miracle Worker - (Gladstone, NJ)
The Natural (Erie - Buffalo, S. Dayton, Gowanda and Hamburg, NY.)
Best Friends (Erie - Buffalo area)
Harry and Walter Go to New York - (Mansfield OH in 1975)
Planes,Trains and Automobiles - (South Dayton, OH)
City Hall - (Boonton Line's Mountain View Wayne station, 1995)
Annie - (NX drawbridge, Newark, NJ branch)
The Station Agent - (Hoboken Yard, NJ, Delaware, NJ, Dover NJ and 
Newfoundland, NJ - ok it's NYS&W!)

Any more since then?
