Resources on NYC Subway Tunnels
This website often uses other resources online to gather and cross-check information. There are many other great websites that give information about the subways. These are some of my favorites.
The obvious ones: wikipedia.org; mta.info; google.com; duckduckgo.com if you don’t want Google to have your data
Born in 1995, nycsubway.org is one of the largest New York City Subway history and fan sites on the web. nycsubway.org is dedicated to the history of the New York City Subway system, including photos, maps, and documents.
“Some say we invented the modern day game of exploring tunnels in NYC. While there's some truth to that, we're really just carrying on tradition of exploring tunnels that dates all the way back to the day that the subways opened and people rushed into the tunnels to check them out. Tunnel exploring in NYC was a rarified hobby mostly of left to blue collar workers and foamers. Then in the 1970s graffiti artists took to the tunnels to paint trains. Today, a new breed runs the tunnels, not bent on painting - just exploring and seeing the hundreds of hidden sections to be found underground.”

Andrew Lynch is a CUNY Hunter College Alum (’09) with a BA in Geography. He is a transit activist, photographer and cartographer living and working in New York City.
He is well known within the community as the maker of the geographically accurate NYC track map, one of the most fascinating existing resources on the subways and railroads in the city. Certainly the result of countless days of research and drawing.
