Along the Way is a tour through New York's underground museum of contemporary art, works commissioned by MTA Arts for Transit for the subway system. Vivid murals by Roy Lichtenstein and Romare Bearden convey the energy of Times Square while Robert Wilson's Coney Island Baby captures the festive spirit of the city's playland. Currently underway are a photographic installation by Mike and Doug Starn at the new Fulton Street Transit Center and an intricate skylight by James Carpenter at the South Ferry complex. Initiated in 1985, this collection of site-specific public art now encompasses more than 150 pieces in mosaic, terra-cotta, bronze, faceted glass, and mixed media. The program takes its cue from the original mandate that the subways be "designed, constructed, and maintained with a view to the beauty of their appearance, as well as to their efficiency." Arts for Transit is committed to the preservation and restoration of the original ornament of the system and to commissioning new works that will exemplify the principles of public art, relating directly to the places in which they are installed and the community around them.

This excellent color photo book chronicles the history of NYC Subway rolling stock, beginning with the IND Subway 1930's R-1 car, up through the R-110A and R-110B technology test trains from the early 1990s. A must-have companion to the Interborough Fleet and Subway Cars of the BMT books, NYC Subway Cars picks up where those other books leave off, covering the "R-series" subway cars. The full-color photography is excellent. It includes some diagrams of subway car specifications but in this respect is not as inclusive as Evolution of New York City Subways.

First published in October 1904 by the Interborough Rapid Transit Corporation, the company that built New York's first underground railway, this unique facsimile edition is a lavishly illustrated guide to one of the century's greatest engineering feats. Here in twelve detailed chapters, are the routes, stations, and tracks, the rolling stock, signal systems, and electric supply stations of the new subway that ran under the streets of Manhattan and the Bronx. Beautifully reproduced photographs, maps, line drawings, and other illustrations complement the text, written by the IRT's own engineers. It covers the construction methods, architecture, station and rolling stock design, and the political groups responsible for the creation of New York City's first subway. An online version is available: The New York Subway: Its Construction and Equipment (1904)

The centennial edition of this book is the definitive guide to the rolling stock of the NYC subway and elevated system, covering the first elevated line in 1867 thru the R-142 car contract of 1997. Each car type is illustrated with photos, mostly black & white, and a writeup, as well as the diagram sheets from the NYCT internal publication Revenue and Non-Revenue Car Drawings where available. This book is a good general introduction to the car types, but the other books in this section go into further detail and illustration about the "sub-classes" (no pun intended) of the cars (early IRT, early BMT, and R-types). There are some color photos but New York City Subway Cars is the clear winner in that category. This book is unique in one other respect: it is the first comprehensive book about any aspect of subway history published by MTA New York City Transit, and hopefully not the last. This book is a necessary addition to any subway fan's collection. First two editions titled "The Evolution of New York City Subways: An Illustrated History of New York City's Transit Cars, 1867-1997."

Amazon.com writeup: In celebration of the New York City subway system's 100th birthday, [this book] offers up this easy-to-read, informative history. From its beginnings as an underground amusement ride, to the development of the IRT, BMT and IND rail systems, to its crime-ridden and graffiti-covered fall in the 70's and, finally, to its current revival, the system has had a more colorful history than most straphangers and tourists realize. Diehl's well-pitched nostalgia leads readers to appreciate the wonder of the subway's nascent period and to imagine how incalculably different New York would be today had the transit option that is so taken for granted not been created how and when it was.

This ongoing series is a self-published work by Mr. Coppola, and each edition is only available in limited numbers. Coppola's goal is to give a detailed account of the present condition of the entire NYC rapid transit system (a truly lofty goal). Each volume examines the physical state of a portion of the system, detailing, for example, exactly how specific stations have changed since they opened, and how evidence of these changes is still visible. The volumes are accompanied by Coppola's excellent drawings of various parts of the system and stations. In the process, Coppola tells the story of how the subway came to be what it is now, in a fluid, engaging manner. The amount of work that has been spent on this work is evident on every page. Volume 1 examined the original IRT, and Volume 2 looks at Brooklyn, particularly the els. Vol. I (2 books) - IRT contract I in Manhattan. Vol. II - BRT els.

The book delivers what it promises: a discussion of the Dual Contracts and its impact on the City. Whereas 722 Miles emphasized the political history of the subway system, "Tunneling" looks more closely at the social necessity for the massive expansion envisioned and rapidly carried out under the Dual Contracts. The "saving" refers to the relief of physical and social overcrowding which was not sufficiently eased by the existing elevated system and first subway. There's plenty of politics, too, and we get an even sharper picture of the some of the IRT's machinations in trying to preserve its subway monopoly. Derrick's primary story ends, however, with the signing of the Contracts. If you're looking to find much about the company (the BRT) whose intervention made the Contracts "Dual" there is not too much. What Derrick does, that reading the source material here does not, is put the material together, and add research and evaluation, which explains how and why the system came to be. In the process, we realize why the Dual Contracts were important (beyond the obvious of its creating new lines).--Review by Paul Matus

Said maps are suitable for research and/or framing. The book is out of print and getting harder to locate, but can still be found on barnesandnoble.com under "12 Hist.

2001

Author John Landers in conjunction with H&M Productions have once again struck gold with the release of Twelve Historical New York City Street and Transit Maps Volume II, 1847 to 1939. If New York transit maps pique your interest then this boxed collection is a must buy. This collection includes a map issued in 1939 by the New York City Board of Transportation showing an ambitious expansion of the entire subway system, including a College Point line coming off the #7 Flushing Line and a Ft. Hamilton Parkway line in Brooklyn cutting through a Narrows tunnel to Staten Island, where it branches off in two directions. A Long Island Rail Road map from 1885 shows passenger service on the Long Beach branch to desolate sand dunes of Point Lookout and a fantastic 10 year comparison of the same map issued by Rand McNally in 1904 and again in 1914. In one decade the growth of the services within the boroughs is startling. There are 8 more delectable NYC transit-related maps. The collection also comes with a booklet in which the author chronicles each of the twelve maps in an informative and sometimes humorous manner. New York City transit maps from this era are very rare and when they do show up in an auction often sell for one hundred dollars or more. These reproductions match the original sizes and colors and are the next best thing to owning the actual map. They can be easily framed and are an excellent educational tool for today's student.

Frattini is a pretty young guy (in his foreword he cites Albert Belle, Kid Rock and "the hotties on the US Women's Soccer Team") but he has done his homework on the history of the IND, BMT and IND, and apparently, he has visited all 450+ NYC subway stations and gives a capsule review of each. The station reviews are kind of brief and superficial, but he does notice things like the old Subway Sun signs at the IND Broadway station, for example. But, there are occasional jarring errors, such as referring to lines by color throughout ("the A,C, E [the Blue Line])"; nobody I've ever met calls NYC subway lines by color. He also claims "The open cut stations of the N and R lines...pierce through the neighborhood backyards of Bensonhurst and Sunset Park in Brooklyn." First, the R does not travel in an open cut; secondly, it goes nowhere near Bensonhurst; and no NYC subway goes 'through' anyone's back yard. Frattini, besides his subway reviews, mentions a neighborhood eatery that's in the vicinity of each station, nearby landmarks, and local unusual spots. These are all quite helpful (but may become outdated in a couple of years). Basically, if you're looking for detailed, specific descriptions of NYC subway stations, stick with nycsubway.org. But, if you need a quick and dirty field guide when you're out rail fanning, this book is pretty decent for the money (abt $16). (Reviewed by Kevin Walsh)

This book is a study of the impact of citizen action on crime and on the fear of crime. The author obtained the consent and cooperation of the Guardian Angels to use their activities in Harlem and the Bronx as a model in determining the effectiveness of such operations. In addition, on-site interviews were conducted with 2,700 nighttime subway riders. Contradicting many previously held beliefs, these data show that actual incidents of subway crime are remarkably low and that fear of crime among nighttime riders, while high, is not exceptional when compared to fear previously found in above ground settings.
