New York City Subways traces the history of mass transportation in Manhattan and New York Citys outer boroughs. Public transportation has long been vital to the city; with horse-drawn surface lines established by 1831 and elevated railroad lines constructed during the 1870s and 1880s. The concept of subways; railroads operating underground; originated in London in 1863 and was applied to New York City by 1904. This collection of vintage postcards brings you through the tunnels of the subway; onto the platforms of the long-gone els; and examines New Yorks renowned terminals; especially Grand Central and Penn Station.
