In New York’s subway shutdown, an unthinkable departure
Reading now: 604
NEW YORK – It’s not the end of the line. But it once was. When the first New York subway line connected Lower Manhattan to Harlem in 1904, the stop at 145th Street was its terminus.
Since that inaugural run, the subway has never ceased running. There were brief blips of interruption after 9/11 and in the last decade for hurricanes and blizzards, but for more than 115 years, the rumbling on the rails has kept the click-clack heartbeat of New York.
A second, tunneled city that, like the skyward metropolis above, never sleeps. Last week, for the first time, the trains stopped running in a planned shutdown.
Between the hours of 1 a.m. and 5 a.m., the subways and New York’s 472 stations began closing for a nightly cleaning to disinfect trains.
