IRT Interborough Rapid Transit / the New York City Subway: Its Design and Construction by The Interborough Transit Company Pdf

On October 27, 1904, the Interborough Rapid Transit Company opened the first subway in New York City. Running between City Hall and 145th Street at Broadway, the line was greeted with enthusiasm and, in some circles, trepidation. Created under the supervision of Chief Engineer S.L.F. Deyo, the arrival of the IRT foreshadowed the end of the "elevated" transit era on the island of Manhattan. The subway proved such a success that the IRT Co. soon achieved a monopoly on New York public transit. In 1940 the IRT and its rival the BMT were taken over by the City of New York. Today, the IRT subway lines still exist, primarily in Manhattan where they are operated as the "A Division" of the subway. Reprinted here is a special book created by the IRT, recounting the design and construction of the fledgling subway system. Originally created in 1904, it presents the IRT story with a flourish, and with numerous fascinating illustrations and rare photographs.

The Return on the Investment in the Subway of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company of New York City by Bion J. Arnold Pdf

Excerpt from The Return on the Investment in the Subway of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company of New York City: Submitted to the Public Service Commission, for the First District of the State of New York Gentlemen - I have the honor to transmit herewith my report upon "The Return on the Investment," in the Subway of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company, this being Report No. 7. Many of the conclusions reached in this Report result from analyses already made in my former reports upon "The Signal System," "The Subway Car," "The Capacity of the Subway," and "The Traffic of the Subway." This report discusses the influence on the return upon the investment of the density of traffic; non-paying branch lines; fixed charges upon structure and equipment; depreciation; income and expenses per car mile; non-paying car miles; the necessity for the development of the short haul business; development of maximum capacity by proper design and the relative effect of each of these elements upon the practicability of maintaining a Subway system throughout Greater New York upon a fixed five cent fare basis.

722 Miles by Clifton Hood Pdf

When it first opened on October 27, 1904, the New York City subway ran twenty-two miles from City Hall to 145th Street and Lenox Avenue—the longest stretch ever built at one time. From that initial route through the completion of the IND or Independent Subway line in the 1940s, the subway grew to cover 722 miles—long enough to reach from New York to Chicago. In this definitive history, Clifton Hood traces the complex and fascinating story of the New York City subway system, one of the urban engineering marvels of the twentieth century. For the subway's centennial the author supplies a new foreward explaining that now, after a century, "we can see more clearly than ever that this rapid transit system is among the twentieth century's greatest urban achievements."

A Century of Subways by Brian J. Cudahy Pdf

The transit historian and author of Under the Sidewalks of New York delivers a lively and authoritative history of New York City’s fabled subway. On the afternoon of October 27, 1904, ordinary New Yorkers descended beneath the sidewalks for the first time to ride the electric-powered trains of the newly inaugurated Interborough Rapid Transit System. More than a century later, the subway has expanded greatly, weaving its way into the fabric of New York’s unique and diverse urban life. In A Century of Subways, transit historian Brian J. Cudahy offers a fascinating tribute to New York’s storied and historic subway system, from its earliest beginnings and many architectural achievements, to the ways it helped shape today’s modern metropolis. Taking a fresh look at one of the marvels of the twentieth century, Cudahy creates a vivid sense of this extraordinary system and the myriad ways the city was transformed once New Yorkers started riding below the ground.
