Hello all,
Long time lurker, first time poster here. I posted this on SubChat and thought I'd share.
Now this is a long-term plan. Not even the IND Second System was this robust. It was drawn up by then Chief Engineer Daniel L. Turner. As far as personal preference, I like the Nostrand Line going across Sheepshead Bay and on to Coney Island. The plans for Staten Island (upper right-hand corner) were the most ambitious. Not only do those Narrows tunnels feed into trunk lines under Brooklyn's 2nd and 3rd Avenues, but another three go to Bayonne and along the bulk-head line of New Jersey. I have more details on the plans and links to the original NY Times articles on my new blog (see below). Enjoy.
