About This Book
"Metropolitan Railways is a large-scale, extensively illustrated volume that portrays the growth and development of the urban rail transit systems in North America. From such impractical early schemes as a proposed steam-powered "arcade railway" under New York's Broadway and Alfred Ely Beach's pneumatic subway, the book traces the development of rail transit technology through today's sophisticated systems that employ computer-era technology to attain fully automatic train operation."--BOOK JACKET.
