    A monumental accomplishment
  

*by R***G on Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2011*

I have ridden many miles on the BMT, IRT and the IND and wondered idly how these underground networks had come to be.  The system is now over a century old, a bit gritty and shopworn, but still carrying passengers in relative safety.  It was a seemingly impossible job to dig all those tunnels, to disrupt ground transportation for years, but it had to be done if New York City were to function and grow.  The city after the Civil War was confined on the southern third of Manhattan Island.  It was crowded with traffic to the point of strangulation.  Expansion was impossible.  It was absolutely necessary that travel go underground where it would be unaffected by automobiles and weather.  The blizzard of 1888 made that obvious, if the summer glut was not enough.Building the subway was as big a project as the Great Wall of China or the Pyramid of Cheops.  This, then, is the story of the visionaries who took on the project and of the men who perished to make it happen.

    Good Presentation of Early NY Subway History
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2013*

"New York Underground" is a documentary which covers the development of the New York subway system, from its origins through the construction of the IRT.Presentation in this film is polished, and provides historic footage and imagery and expert discussion. The movie's one hour length was just about right. I found the pace just a tad slow, but not enough to give less than 5 stars. This documentary provides needed context, explaining the pressing need for improved transportation in New York in the early 1800s, and the dramatic effect the subway had on the city once it was installed. The two main subways covered are Beech's pneumatic subway and the IRT (later developments are encapsulated in relatively brief comments toward the end of the movie). One minor complaint: subways in other cities (Boston, London, etc.) were mentioned in passing, but it would have been interesting to get even a little more information on subways which preceded those in New York.

Great to relive the past. Bought for my mom who grew up there.
