There was an article in the New York Times today about a innovative subway car that was created in 1949 sitting in the Transit Museum that would have sped its way along the, long planned, Second Avenue line. Problem is, they never actually created a Second Avenue line due to . Each car was a piece of time's technological ingenuity; with a stainless steal shine, "high-tech air purification systems", "round porthole windows", et al. Turns out, the New York Board of Transportation is finally planning on digging the tunnels for such a line between 96th and 63rd Streets in Manhattan. Just a few years late.
How fascinating would it be to unearth a long buried line that had been dug out quite a while ago but never used? Possibly infested with ghosts...or Native American ghosts...or....you know, rats. Sounds like a story to me! Probably worthy of Warren Ellis. ...yeah, I'm still kickin' on his stuff around.
