This is an old class! Enjoy the notes, and check out the current courses.
You take the subway everyday, but have you ever thought about how its maze of tunnels was constructed? How many people died building it? How long did it take to complete? How the hell did anyone get to Coney Island before it existed?
In this one-session class learn about the history of New York's grand subway: the political fights that preceded it, the multiple systems that were constructed and then united, and how it affected the growth of America's largest metropolis.
This class will be mostly lecture, but come armed with all your underground public transportation questions.
