Subway Route Lengths

Sorry if this is somewhere else on here but I can't get the search to work.

 

I'm working on a series of posters (which some of you may have seen here) and I need to get the exact route length of each subway line as well as the total.  I'm just talking about revenue service length tracks.  Anyone know these stats?  Thanks.

 

PS I know those maps have tons of errors and typos, they are being fixed.

I am dearly sorry, Manuel Up Front. It seems more necessary for our fellow, Tim92 as of the moment.

 

Wow, the insults of a 12 year old.  I'm hurting so bad, boo-frickety-hoo.

 

 

Guys let this flamefest die, this thread starter has the potential to become a good discussion on the possibilities for transit needs in the future in NYC.

 

To be fair, if the Depression + WWII hadn't pretty much killed the Second System off, this really wouldn't be an issue.
