Since the first subway opened in 1904, the New York Subway system
and its trains have provided millions of New Yorkers with cheap,
fast, and remarkably reliable transportation. The New York subway
system lacks the electronic complexity of such modern operations as
the Washington, D.C. Metro or San Francisco's BART, and New Yorkers
have few qualms in admitting that theirs is not the world's most
beautiful subway. But as it is in no other city on earth, the
subway of New York is intimately woven into the fabric and identity
of the city itself. Transportation expert Brian Cudahy recounts the
history of the New York subway systems in a book that is full of
detail, historical anecdote, and the wonders of twentieth - century
technology. Tracing the system from it first short IRT look to the
extensive network of today, with information about such fascinating
sidelights as the city's traim systems and the PATH trains linking
New York and New Jersey, he has produced a complete, thoroughly
researched and annotated, and fully illustrated history that will
delight subway buffs, students of urban affairs, and all those who
love the city of New York.
