	Historic Construction Projects - New York City Subway System
		In order to construct this segment of the subway, a 30-foot wide trench had to be sunk on the south side of the street, in which the subway was built for the width of two tracks.
		For example, at the 66th Street station the roof of the subway was a mere two feet from the electric railway yokes and structures of the street surface line.
		Thanks to IRT, New York City flourished and developed into the city it is today because the subways enabled people to live in one area of the large city and work in another, with quick and efficient travel in between.

		NEW YORK (CNN) -- Two of the dates mentioned in intelligence about possible subway attacks in New York were Friday and Sunday, an official with knowledge of the investigation told CNN.
		New York has been on orange alert, or the second-highest level -- indicating a high risk of terror attack -- since the color-coded warning system was established after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

	Letter from New York The New York Subway
		Topping it all off was the fact that the inside and outside of the subway cars were decorated with the kind of colourful, frenzied graffiti name tags and scrawling that were treated as imaginative folk art by chic curators and collectors, and were seen by some writers as an affirmation of identity by the powerless.
		Images of the subway from that period appear in a new exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York of 65 colour photographs by documentary photographer, Bruce Davidson (the photos are also published by St. Ann’s Press in a book, Subway).
		The subway is the lifeblood of the New York, and it was no coincidence that its renewal paralleled the city’s own resurrection.

	City Mayors: 100 years New York Subway
		Though it is indeed called the subway, New York City's rapid transit system runs in tunnels beneath the streets but also rises to travel atop elevated structures, along grade level right-of-way and in open cut service.
		Subway design and construction was varied to match the conditions and topography of a city that is incredibly diverse geographically.
		The subway's designers, for the most part, planned the railroad in such a way as to not just meet the demands of the time, but also future requirements of a city bursting at the seams with promise and new development.

	Wired New York Forum - Subway Maps
		Tauranac, a 66-year-old New Yorker with mussed gray-fl hair and gold-rimmed glasses, used to design maps for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, until he was, as he put it, “declared redundant” in 1987.
		Tauranac’s latest effort is also a potent reminder that one of the stormiest battles involving New York’s self-image involved neither development nor political leadership, but what would seem the most mundane of issues: the look of the city’s subway map.
		In contrast to the brilliance of the subway routes, aboveground New York was almost invisible: the outlines of the boroughs were stubby and squared-off; the parks were gray boxes; and the water was tan.
