A proposed arcade railroad, under Broadway
A proposed arcade railroad, under Broadway in New York City, ca. 1850s. This imagined view north begins at Wall Street, with Trinity Church on left. The need for an underground line would be met only when exhaustless electric motors were available to operate in an enclosed tunnel, in the 1890s
