Based on the [[wp:New York City Subway|New York City Subway]], the '''Subway''' in [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] is a heavy rail rapid transit system that serves a large portion of the city. With 26 [[:Category:Subway Stations in Liberty City|stops]] and 8 routes, it is largest and most complex rapid transit system in the [[Grand Theft Auto World|Grand Theft Auto world]]. The system is operated by the [[Liberty Transport Authority]] (LTA). The subway also appears in [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], however it is inaccessible to the player, yet trains still run. About 65% of the network is underground, with the remaining 35% being overground.

It is possible that the Liberty City Subway may have shared the tracks with (now defunct) freight trains in the past, as well as having a completely different route (possibly reserved for the freight trains).

There is an abandon portion of an old railway appears in western Algonquin along [[Westminster]] and [[The Meat Quarter]], running from the plaza of a new building, blocked off by barrier boards, and runs through several buildings before splitting up. One section runs into a garage in a building (supporting the fact that it may have been used for freight), and the other leads to a broken off edge forming a ramp.
In western [[East Island City]], [[Broker]], a section of railway leading from a bricked up tunnel exists, west toward Algonquin, and stops facing that water, suggesting a bridge may have at one point existed.

Several disused tracks and railcars also dot industrial areas in Alderney. These include two abandoned rail depots (one that has been almost completely torn down), several sections of track (mostly running through old alleyways), a section of track running by the old [[Sprunk Factory]] that splits up, with one side leading into a bricked up tunnel. There is also a rail line running from a bricked up tunnel running from southern Alderney City, through Normandy, through Port Tudor (with parts of the track heading onto one of the piers, and ending on a ramp and several old pillars near northern Acter Industrial Park. This track is mostly intact, though several newer structures (roads, buildings) have been built over it.

There also are two unused subway tunnels in the Algonquin side of the network that form connections between two other lines but are not part of regular subway routes: These include the tunnel which connects North Park Station to West Park Station and one which connects West Park Station to Frankfort High Station. Also, within the junction tunnel under Lancet, there are tracks which connect Easton Station to Manganese East Station.
