Proposed subway lines that never got greenlit

Recommended Posts

As we are all aware, the MTA is hard at work (after over a century it seems) building the second avenue subway and are now also setting their sites on the purposed "Intra-borough RX". However, what are other lines that were proposed but either never completed or never left the drawing board? What ever their service area(s) and how would they have changed NYC history? Any insight?

Good joke, "hard at work," that's rather new. Anyway, here is a map of all the proposals that could've been: https://www.vanshnookenraggen.com/_index/docs/IND_trackmap.pdf?_t=1613769508
