NEW YORK CITY HEAVY RAIL
In the Subway |
|
|
Well over half of New York City's massive system is truly
subway, including almost all the routes that crowd through Manhattan.
This photo is at 14th St. on the 7th Ave. Line of the former IRT, one of
five north-south underground arteries that run four-track express and local
service up and down much of the lower part of the island.
On this particular holiday all southbound trains were using the local
track. Crews were working on the rails at the station itself.
The action was noisy and the station announcements were difficult to
understand. Some of the waiting patrons were fairly confused. |
