Reviews
"The humble New York subway car has its fans, as Gene Sansone demonstrates in his exhaustive survey, Evolution of New York City Subways. Featuring such curios as a private subway car built in 1904 for the director of the subway, his work also provides useful insights into such imponderables as why the cars on the F line are longer than those on, say, the 1 and 9 lines."--Leo Carey, The New Yorker, ''Offers the reader a comprehensive, accurate, well-illustrated, highly documented catalog of the nearly 5800 current New York City subway cars, along with the many thousands of long-gone cars. Every subway student or enthusiast will return to it often to browse the pages or to research specific car series. It is an indispensable companion to prior or future general histories of one of the world's greatest people movers.'' -- Richard L. Allman, Railroad History
