Loaded with hundreds of large, full-bleed images, this second edition
expands the work's visual documentation of two key decades in New York's
subway train and station history. See images of the MTA system from the
1970s through the 1990s, a period that saw an unprecedented meteoric
rise in global fame for a transit system. Captured here are the graffiti
cars, grit, danger, and intrigue that defined the system's attitude and
reputation.
Tod Lange, artist, subway archivist, and native New Yorker,
presents more than 200 images of his favorite train lines,
graffiti-painted cars, stations, subway yards, and work equipment that
defined one of New York's bygone eras. It may have been a scary and
dangerous place to some, but it was home to millions.
Rail fans and those hankering for a memento of this period in New
York City's history will appreciate this rare look at trains that have
since been turned into scrap metal or sunk to the bottom of the ocean.
This new edition of a beloved era in NYC subway train and station
history features 66 new images and a new chapter on car interiors.
