Original flexible simulated black calf post-binder ownership name stamped on lower right corner front cover very slight fraying at fore-edges slight wear NF exemplar from library of Transit Commissioner Chairman John H. Delaney 1871-1952. This souvenir photo album documents the key switch and signal control systems power equipment subway signals car brake tripper valves and signal systems and more for the newly opened 8th Avenue IND Subway line in New York running from 207th St. to south of High St. in Brooklyn Heights. George Westinghouse had pioneered airbrake safety equipment revolutionizing rail travel in the 19th Century and had absorbed and created the Union Switch & Signal Co. in 1881 moving to Swissvale in 1887 where the subsidiary specialized in specifically closed track circuits and interlocking switch and signal control systems vital for interurbans subway systems and other rail lines. This album depicts the large signal control panel illuminated track indicator switch operating mechanisms and control valves tripper mechanisms signal control cables apparatus housing Dwarf subway interlocking signals and more. In addition many of the images reveal the newly constructed subway tunnels control rooms switching rooms air compressor plants and storage buildings. The 8th Avenue line was originated under Mayor John Hylan who pursued an independent subway system and directed Transit Commission Chairman Delaney to oversee construction and implementation of the line with most of the line dug using the cut-and-cover method by excavating the street above and attempting to avoid existing lines and stations. Delaney had begun his career managing the Morning Telegraph and the printing plant owner and was tapped in 1913 by Gov. Suizer as Commissioner of Efficiency and Economy during the Progressive Era. He proved to be an essential figure in not only overseeing the eventual $ 770 million job of building the IND subway system but was also key to the eventual unification of the IRT and BMT subway systems purchased by New York City for $ 326 million.

190942908Albany NY: State of New York 1909. First edition. Very good clean copy with long tear repaired on th verso and tiny chips at one fold on map inch tear to fore edge of certificate and along bottom margin. Ink on drafting vellum with colored outlines. 15 x 24 inches. Docket sheet mounted to verso. In 1874 the Hudson Tunnel Railroad Company soon named the Hudson River Railway Company was formed to construct tunnels between Jersey City and Greenwich Village the route originally to be about two miles commencing at a point under the Hudson River in the westerly boundaryline of the state of New York opposite the foot of Clarkson street at the termination of the Hudson Tunnel Railroad Company of New Jersey and thence running by a feasible route under the bed of the river and beneath the surface of the city of New York to a point at or near the westerly side of Broadway between Prince and Eighth streets; from whence the line proceeds via Sixth avenue to Thirty-third street New York but stopped construction well before completion. The assets land partially-constructed tunnels trackage etc. were eventually sold to the newly-organized New York & Jersey Railroad incorporated on February 12 1902 under the leadership of William G. McAdoo who was later U.S. Treasury Secretary and which then became the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad 1906. The original of this profile was drafted in 1891 before the railroad collapsed and the present certified copy was prepared by the Secretary of State's office on February 25 1909 almost exactly one year after the official opening of the tunnel the Pennsylvania Railroad's North River Tunnels the second to burrow under the Hudson did not open until late 1910. The reason that a copy of the map was requested is not known but what is known is that the railroad was seeking to extend the Sixth Avenue line later as well as other related projects. Perhaps the map was needed to settle some land issue or in some legal negotiations as the pencilled word "referee" appears after two sets of initials. The tunnels still carry a heavy load of PATH train commuters between Jersey City and Manhattan. Similar maps are difficult to locate. The closest a printed "Map of Hudson & Manhattan Railroad Hudson tunnel system January 1908" is located at the University of Chicago and the Jersey City Historical Society.
