I agree - all who rode CPW back in the day, remember the speed.

Strangely enough, you might remember there was arnine footage included in Zeppelin's concert film, The Song Remains the Same - this was a flim of a concert either partly, or wholly in NYC (? saw it years back, late 80s, on video - don't remember further details).

I'm assuming the arnine segments were an allusion to Zep's volume/"noise," comparing their sound "that goes to eleven" with the NY subway - did Brits entirely produce this film? If so, inserting the arnine clips, could have been for the novelty of the subway as one example of NY's energy* (as perceived by an English audience).

(*remember the lyrics, "the rumble of the subway train" in the old "Lullabye of Broadway" song)

Anyhow, I always wondered how much total arnine footage was shot and unused by the producers, ending up on the cutting room floor. Maybe some kind of serious film researcher could contact original people involved - ask of any was saved and if so what archive is it stored in. Though, from the stories I've heard about unreleased tapes, these films if saved, could be in someone's storage unit out in the English hinterlands.
