editor Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 One of the blogs that I follow is called Strange Maps. Recently it posted an article about the Rochester, New York subway system. I was surprised to see it because I thought Buffalo was the only city outside of New York inside New York with a subway system. It turns out that Rochester's subway was abandoned in 1956. That reminded me of Cincinnati. When I lived there I learned about and saw pictures of that city's former subway system, which was also abandoned. There are tunnels beneath the city's streets that still have stations and even a subway train down in the dusty depths. So, now I'm wondering -- has anyone else heard of any other cities that completely gave up on their subway systems? I thought Cincinnati was a one-off, but if it happened in Rochester, too, maybe it happened elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevfiv Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Strange Maps is a neat blog - I need to re-add it to my rss (lost it somewhere in a browser upgrade). Those Cincinnati subway stations are eerie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highway6 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 ooo.. thanks for the blog heads up..i just mentioned this is another thread.. but a similarly cool site, though not nearly as updated, is radical cartography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTiger Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Aww, the FW one is tiny. If it were more extensive, it should've been recycled into the DART. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
