But what most people do not know is that it's not the subway pertama.Karena terrible congestion on Broadway, Alfred Ely Beach (the young owner of the magazine Scientific American youth) is called having an idea - to build subways, which use a fan to encourage and suck giant railcar backward and forward through the tunnel.
Because corruption commissioner of public works, William Tweed, Beach had to get approval to build this tunnel by pretending it to be a mail delivery system. Tweed (income mostly comes from public transportation) does not veto the request.
Beach and a small group of people began to dig a tunnel under Broadway in the dark night. The whole company confidential, as dirt hidden in the basement of a building purchased for the purpose itu.Pekerjaan Beach runs fine, but just before they could complete their first line of the public got wind of and supported.
Beach team worked extra hard to complete the subway, and the luxurious style they open to the public subways on March 1, 1870. He picked up twenty-five cents per passenger to travel from Warren Street to Murray Street. It was a great success - carrying more than 400,000 passengers in its first year in operation.
Unfortunately Tweed was furious and vetoed the extension of future subway. Tweed eventually jailed for corruption, and permission was granted for the Beach to continue the work of extending the subway, but unfortunately private investors quickly disappear, since the beginning of the economic crisis.
The subway was not completed and remained hidden under the city completely sealed up (complete with the luxury car and machinery) until it was subsumed into the present City Hall Station.
the subway was not resolved and remains hidden beneath the city is completely closed (complete with luxury cars and machinery) until it was incorporated into the City Hall Station now. Here's a subway route on Google Maps.
