History of the Second Avenue Subway

[edit]
  • ... that although New York City's Second Avenue Subway was originally planned in 1920, the first stations did not open for another 97 years? Source: The New Yorker (February 13, 2017). "In 1920, a city engineer named Daniel L. Turner proposed a citywide rail expansion, which came to include a six-track subway under Second Avenue from the Bronx to lower Manhattan. [...] the début of the Second Avenue subway, which opened to great fanfare at noon on New Year’s Day—ninety-seven years after it was first conceived."

  • Article is new enough and long enough, hooks are interesting and sourced in the article. Favor first hook, as it's the most interesting in my opinion. Good to go. Jackdude101 talk cont 01:08, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
