        Beach Pneumatic Transit was the first attempt to build an underground public transit system in New York City. It was developed by Alfred Ely Beach in 1869 as a demonstration subway line running on pneumatic power.pic.twitter.com/1tlNjBSmiq

        Being in a NYC subway station in August diminishes the appeal of this image.

        Worth noting that many people in that time considered anything subterranean as being too close to the Devil. Miners had serious social stigma for doing their jobs. Later on people had similar superstitions about air conditioning. Some Victorian beliefs persist to this day.
