Regarding Bay station, I believe that it's Memory of a Killer, more specifically the first episode involving a flashback in Philly, despite the series being primarily set in New York City and upstate New York, hence the Philadelphia Transit System signage based on real-world SEPTA signage.

I find the City's list a little small and doesn't reflect all of what's going on.

ACTRA's list is more comprehensive and lists recent past as well as future stuff. Note: for secrecy's sake, it's sometimes under red herring working titles rather than production names; "Turkey Meatloaf" is apparently the working title for Reacher season 4 (named after Alan Ritchson's favourite meal), and was recently filming in Yorkville using signs only saying "TM".

Not sometimes. Most of the time, and especially with big productions, a working title will be used that does not necessarily reflect the final name of the production or even the genre of the piece.

Back when I worked in this field this was even the case for music videos being worked for popular singers and groups.

It really depends on the budget and star power. Murdoch Mystery's never gonna cover up their name, and neither will the low budget films. A lot of times though, sets themselves will indeed use a red herring name.

Unless it’s reshoots, The Greatest was supposed to have wrapped in late July.

My money’s on “The Westies”, a series set in 1980’s Hell’s Kitchen about Irish gangs. It’s currently in production and doesn’t wrap until then end of October.

Maybe. But you've sent me down a rabbit hole, and I think it's earlier than that. There was a cop car that had a megaphone and two siren lights on its roof. This website suggests the NYPD used that until the mid 1970s, after it was replaced by a bar of lights across the top.

NYPD cars from 1970's

The one I saw looked like this. Though obviously a car from the mid 1970s wouldn't be out of place in a 1980s show.

Oh, I'm very likely wrong about it being The Westies. My guess was more about what's currently filming and is set in the past.

It could also just be the kind of anachronism that productions are willing to "forget" if they can't rent the exact right vehicle from the prop companies. Very few viewers will even think there may be a difference, or care for that matter.

Of course, it could just be a simple flashback scene from a series set in modern day. *shrugs*

Anyways, I have no actual information. I just relayed the chatter from the biggest St. Lawrence neighbourhood facebook group
