Tracks of the New York City Subway 2021 now available in full color!
This is amazing. The latest edition of Tracks of the New York City Subway is out and it’s now in full color! I have a few previous non-sequential versions of this but would love the 2021 version!
2019 Tracks of the New York City Subway
I have the 2015 version of this book and I figured 4 years is a good enough time to get an updated version with all the changes made in recent years. The 2019 Tracks of the New York City Subway will begin shipping in December (of this year) and you can order your copy now. This publication is still the king of all track layouts of the entire NYC transit system (including abandoned stations).

Because crime was such a big problem, it gave people anxiety about being underground longer than they needed to be.
X-ray street and underground maps of the layouts of NYC Subway stations
How cool are these x-ray subway station maps made by Candy Chan? They are sort of an off-shoot of Candy’s initial Subway station layout project which draws in detail the different levels of certain major stations in the MTA NYC transit system.
