Beneath the streets of London, Paris, New York, and other cities, lay massive, underground worlds of tunnels and trains, transporting millions of people. Underground railways, or subways, are an engineering marvel. But why were they built? And how? Imagine city streets packed with horse-drawn stages, carriages, wagons, and trolleys--and people. By the nineteenth century, cities were bustling, but the tremendous traffic kept the streets at a standstill. People weren't getting anywhere fast. And so the dream of underground rapid transit was born. Follow Larry Dane Brimner's high-speed tour of the early subways, from London, where Marc Isambard Brunel solved the problem of tunneling by watching a shipworm at work, to New York City, where Alfred Ely Beach built a secret subway under Broadway. Neil Waldman's realistic illustrations compliment this amazing story and bring to life the early days when subways were first imagined and constructed.
