  New York Subway
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.
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.
The three systems were unified and then operated by the City of New York through its Board of Transportation in 1940, which was succeeded in 1953 by the New York City Transit Authority, a state agency incorporated for the benefit of the city, now known to the public as MTA New York City Transit.

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.

 Wired New York Forum - Good news for Brooklyn-Manhattan subway service
Service can finally be expanded, explained Transit Authority spokesman Charles Seaton, because for the first time since 1986, when the repair work began on the Manhattan Bridge, all four subway tracks over the span will be used.
So a centerpiece of their new plan is allowing both options for riders on the Brighton line during weekdays: either an express B train up Avenue of the Americas, or the local Q up Broadway.
As a result, the morning rush, the first since the subway map was rescrambled to send more trains over the bridge and give most Brooklyn residents a faster ride to Midtown, went smoothly, except for some minor delays, according to transit officials, although there was still plenty of subterranean confusion to go around.
