"It absolutely amazes me that 75-100 years ago we were able to build real trunk lines, like the West and East Side IRTs and the Queens Blvd line. A good deal of this contruction took place during times of depression and even war."A lot of lines were built as open pits. When Queens Blvd was built, there was literally nothing there except farm fields. Also, if workers died during construction or toxic waste materials were dumped in the East River, nobody gave a shit. I don't know about you, but I don't want to go back to those days. The SAS will be built; it will be built well and you'll be riding soon enough. |
