Subway Art - Wired New York Forum Frank Leslie Hampton's "Uptown New York" treats commuters to a sweeping view of classic New York rooftops on the mezzanine at the TREMONT AVENUE station at the Grand Concourse in the Bronx. New York's subway system expresses an urban body electric that Whitman only glimpsed, and connects each of us to the more personal one that he eloquently envisioned. It is engraved in gray stone on a wall of the station at 42nd Street and Avenue of the Americas, atop a staircase to the platform where the B, the D, the F and the V rumble by. www.wirednewyork.com /forum/showthread.php?t=4392   (3552 words)

H-Net Review: Peter Derrick on The City Beneath Us: Building the New York Subway The 100th anniversary of the opening of New York City's first subway line was celebrated in 2004.[1] The celebration included numerous exhibits, tours and lectures throughout the city as well as a nostalgic train trip using vintage subway cars for invited guests (including this reviewer) on October 27. The reason for this is that one of the main goals of rapid transit in New York was to open as much vacant land for residential development as soon as possible, to help alleviate the congestion of population in the older tenement districts. The new sense of optimism at MTA and its agencies is reflected in Heller's last chapter, "Steel Arches." On September 11, 2001, a portion of the subway which passed under the World Trade Center was destroyed, as part of the overall devastation at the site. www.h-net.org /reviews/showrev.cgi?path=326281145561161   (5900 words)

New York City - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) New York City was the seat of the government under the Articles of Confederation from 1785 until 1788, and then the capital of the newly-formed United States from 1788 to 1790. New York City's significance as a trading city results from the natural harbor formed by Upper New York Bay, which is surrounded by Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and the coast of New Jersey. New York City is a major center for international business and commerce and is one of three "command centers" for the global economy (along with London and Tokyo). en.wikipedia.org.cob-web.org:8888 /wiki/New_York_City   (6113 words)

The New York City Subway System The New York City subway system is one of the most efficient people transports in the entire world.

While minor theft and homelessness still abound, the subway is a much better place than was predicted back in the financially troubled days of the city. test.ny.com /transportation/subways   (228 words)

New York City Subway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 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. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/New_York_City_Subway   (5354 words)

New York's Subway System Finally Starting Major Expansion (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding.

New York City is footing the $2 billion bill, which does not include funds to acquire land, such as a planned staging site on W. 26th Street, Nagaraja said. Those include the 8th Avenue subway; Amtrak's West Side rail yards, access tunnels, and open tracks; infrastructure for the Lincoln Tunnel and Port Authority Bus Terminal; the viaduct supporting 11th Avenue; and a planned $6 billion commuter rail tunnel under the Hudson River from New Jersey that would end at 34th Street and 7th Avenue. construction.com.cob-web.org:8888 /NewsCenter/Headlines/RP/20060523ny.asp   (1733 words)

New New York Subway Rules at David W. Boles’ Urban Semiotic What is amazing is how some New Yorkers need to be threatened with fines and jail to temper their bad behavior.

Online NewsHour: The New York Senate Race -- October 19, 2000 KWAME HOLMAN: For New York politicians, there's no more appealing exposure than a march up Fifth Avenue in the Columbus Day parade, and that applies even to the two candidates running in the most chronicled US Senate race of the year. At a new high-tech high school outside Buffalo, Lazio pitched his education plan to students and, by way of the news media, to upstate voters. I dare say that he was not traveling in upstate New York before he became a candidate, and his issues down in the Congress are more suburban-oriented toward Long Island, Suffolk and Nassau County, than they are so far as affecting people upstate. www.pbs.org /newshour/bb/election/july-dec00/ny_10-19.html   (2422 words)

Disorient Express :: MTA Service Advisories by RSS New York City's Subway system can be mystifying at times, especially when it seems like certain trains like to suddenly stop running, go a different route or just start skipping stops for no apparent reason. So after a lot of frustration about never knowing which lines were going to be out when, I figured the only thing to do was to cobble together a system to build RSS and TXT feeds of subway outages. With some new code under the hood and a mean spirit spurred by getting screwed by the E/V train last weekend, the site and its feeds are now back and kicking. www.robotpolishers.com /subway   (490 words)
