	Hexapedia - New York Subway (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab-4.cs.princeton.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		At the outset of this era, New York County (Manhattan Island and part of the Bronx), Kings County (including the Cities of Brooklyn and Williamsburg) and Queens County were separate political entities.
		The First Subway Era (1900 - 1913) In 1898, New York, Kings and Richmond Counties, and parts of Queens and Westchester Counties and their constituent cities, towns, villages and hamlets were consolidated into the City of Greater New York.
		First of all, the subway system began at a time when Thomas Edison and his opponents in the electricity industry were trying to decide whether or to accept alternating current or, as Edison wanted, direct current as the standard way to deliver electricity.

		Subway cars (R44s) currently operate on the Staten Island Railway, opened in 1860, but that is not usually considered part of the subway system since it shares no track connections with the subway system and must comply with Federal Railroad Administration standards due to a previous track connection to mainland railroads.
		The New York City Transit Authority was created in 1953 to take over subway, bus, and streetcar operations from the city, and was placed under control of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in 1968.
		Cars purchased by the City of New York since the inception of the IND and for the other divisions beginning in 1948 are identified by the letter "R" followed by a number; e.g.: R32.

	R142 (New York City Subway car) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		R142 is the model class of the newest generation of IRT cars for the New York City Subway.
		Built by Bombardier in Plattsburgh, New York and Barre, Vermont from 1999–2002, these 1,060 cars, along with the R142A, are the new backbone of the IRT fleet.
		Although all were/are news anchors with Bloomberg Radio, their selection did not coincide with the 2001 election of current mayor Michael Bloomberg, as announcements were pre-recorded in 1999.

	The American Experience/Technology/New York Underground/The Secret Subway
		Beach's real intention at the Fair was to generate excitement over his proposed cure for New York City's desperately strained transportation system: a pneumatic subway capable of zipping passengers to various destinations beneath the metropolis.
		With New York Governor Hoffman securely in his pocket, Tweed was confident that any measure passed by the legislature allowing Beach to expand construction would be vetoed.
		The pneumatic tunnel was long forgotten by most New Yorkers when in 1912, sixteen years after Beach's death, workers excavating a new branch of the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit happened upon a bricked up tunnel that housed, nearly intact, Alfred Ely Beach's well-preserved subway car.

	Newark City Subway
		The Newark City Subway was, for the most part, constructed in the bed of the Morris Canal, which itself was built between Jersey City and Phillipsburg, NJ in the period 1825-1837.
		But, by the early 1900's, the railroads across New Jersey (specifically the Lackawanna and Jersey Central) signed the Morris Canal's death certificate and by 1920, the stagnant waters were a health hazard and the New Jersey state legislature pushed for the draining and filling of the canal bed.
		In 1927, the Newark portion of the canal was authorized to become a right-of-way for streetcars, and construction began on this new subway on November 18, 1929.

	Second Avenue Subway on Track - Page 5 - Wired New York Forum
		This legacy of failure has meant that New York, a city that prizes all things new and current, has a transit system that was last expanded around the time Paris fell to the Nazis.
		Subway construction has often brought gentrification in its wake—the Sixth Avenue line sparked the long-term transformation of a low-slung working-class neighborhood into a wall of office towers—and the Second Avenue line would offer its own twist on the phenomenon.
		The long-awaited Second Avenue subway is expected to clear another important milestone tomorrow, when the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's board approves the issuance of a request for proposals for building the project's first segment, from 96th Street to 63rd Street.
