Expansive station |
| Description: |
This station on the Green Line has a lot of room and a balcony, much more space than you would expect to find in your typical transit station. |

IND station |
| Description: |
Dad would sometimes shoot station scenes, mostly as a human interest thing-he appreciated people in various situations. This is a photo of the crowd waiting on the IND platform at 8th Av and 14th St. |

Daylight |
| Description: |
This shot of the IRT Broadway and 72nd St station shows how close to the surface the original line was, the sun streaming through the ventilation grates to the street at the end of the platform. This was part of the original 1904 IRT line, which just marked its 111th year in service as I post the photo. |

PATH trains |
| Description: |
Back in the 90s, before the Port Authority went totally paranoid, you could get off a photo without being hassled. This is a shot of the yard adjacent to the Journal Square station. |

Inside the monorail |
| Description: |
Dad did a west coast trip in 1997, where he visited, among other places, Seattle. A trip there would not be complete without a visit to the Space Needle, and a ride on the monorail built for the 1962 Worlds Fair. This is the interior of one of the cars. |

63rd St Tunnel |
| Description: |
One place that never had a station til the 63rd St tunnel was opened in the 90s was Roosevelt Island, which by then had become somewhat gentrified. In previous generations it was home to a number of state hospitals, primarily mental institutions, and never had subway service. |

Remember these?? |
| Description: |
At one time, kiosks such as this one at Braodway and 72nd St were common in Manhattan, but by the late 60s, almost all of them had been removed in favor of the stairs you most commonly see today. The MTA has restored some at various stations, making for a much more elegant entrance to the system. |

New line |
| Description: |
Dad got into the subway pretty often, as he would living in New York. This appears to be on one of the new stations on the 63rd St tunnel project. I cant make out the station name. The R32s are classic NYCTA, over 30 years old at the time of the photo |
