Overhead pipes and
peeling paint give some feeling for the age of the system in this view
along what was historically called the IRT 7th Ave. Line. This is
not the very oldest portion of the subway -- the first underground route goes back
to 1904 -- but is not too much newer than that, either. The "W" is for
Wall Street. Many ornate station identifiers and fanciful wall
decorations have been preserved, even as the Manhattan stations have been
upgraded. |
