U-Bahn, S-Bahn & Tram in New York

New York City has much more to offer to urban rail enthusiasts than the world-famous ‘Subway’. ‘Metro-North’ and ‘LIRR’ provide an S-Bahn-style service, while suburban trains operated by ‘NJ Transit’ as well as ‘PATH’ link the city to the region west of the Hudson River, where also two light rail lines are in service. In this bilingual book, Robert Schwandl presents every means of urban rail transport, giving an overview of the respective history of each system and the vehicles used. At the end of the book, the reader will fi nd detailed maps in the form of an atlas of the entire New York Metropolitan Area, which is home to some 20 million people.
