Washington D.

Londoa was the pionesr and some of her early construction was found later calators at the stations. New York took up subway construction late, but profited by the experiments of those earlier in the field. She adopt- cd the Budapest plan of placing tha tunnels as close as possible to the surface so that elevators would be unnecessar “Another radical departure from the older methods, adopted in New York, was characteristically Ameri- can. This was the virtual building of two subways in onc, by the pro- vision of four trains, two devoted to express and two to local service. London Cars Have Lighted Maps Underground.
