Welcome to my Eartchache in Arizona. https://coord.info/GC8EFFM
I got a 4.0 souvenir. I wonder what my travels in the USA were like? How is she like. How to sort it out. I decided to put Virtual in New York in Times Square. This place is, for a European, the most American place. 50 years ago in Poland I attended a concert of the Duke Ellington Big Band. They played the standard "Take The A Train". I can still hear the clicking of the wheels. Now in the Delta Rhythm Boys version. (1942). And the Metro, to paraphrase, similar to Hades, where underground routes like rivers (Styx, Archeon, Lethe, Phlegethon and Cocytus) that transport the souls of the dead to the three worlds. For the obol! We exit on the Champs Elysées. Everything at your fingertips. It's a colorful and joyful world because we are good souls? Just TOURISTS. Watch out for Cerberus.
Ride on Line A is like traveling through the history of New York. It passes through many important points on the New York map - Central Park, Times Square and the World Trade Center. The A Line provides the longest single-seat train trip on the rail system - 32.39 miles (52.13 km) between Inwood and Far Rockaway - and serves 600,000 weekday passenger. The line is marked in blue on the map. The longest and probably the coolest train that is still bustling with life despite being almost a hundred years old. Over the years, this metro lines become an icon. Billy Strayhorn contributed to this by writing the song. It was popularized by Duke Ellington. It was the signature tune of Duke Ellington's orchestra. (Jazz standards + Ella Fitzgerald. What a story with this song... see for yourself. This is not bread and butter. What a ride, very twisted ..... ). Line A is also the setting of many books. You can see musicians at the stations. If you want to hear the sound of wheels, go to Harlem. (!) Note: but.... when registering this Virtual, be sure to exit at the Times Squers station and take a photo before entering.

New York can be considered to be the heart of the world. The city is a metropolis of contrasts and is very unique. The list of interesting places to see seems endless. Have you already seen all its attractions? Manhattan is a central and iconic borough of New York City, often considered the fnancial, cultural, and commercial hub of the city. Times Square is in the heart of Manhattan. The term "Crossroads of the World" is often used to describe Times Square. It is often considered one of the most visited and iconic squares in the world. Its known for its bright neon signs, theaters, and bustling atmosphere. Near this square, I placed my virtual. It's time to get to know its "guts"
The Subway:
The New York Subway System is the largest subway system in the world, with as many as 468 stations and 27 lines. It currently has almost 400 km of routes and 1,112 km of tracks. The subway system uses a standard track gauge which is 1435 mm long. It has a fleet of over 6,418 vehicles. Trains can reach speed of up to 89 km per hour. Approximately 6mln. passengers use it annually.The first plans to build a subway in New York date back to 1868. It was then that Alfred Ely Beach proposed the concept of an underground railway. The first subway line in New York opened on October 27, 1904. The first official subway ride took place on that day. At 2:35 p.m. George McClellan, who was the major of New York at that time, was a passenger on its first historic ride. The subway operates 24 hours, 7 days a week. Rush hours start from 8:00 to 10:00 in the morning and from 17:00 to 19:00 in the evening. The New York subway is also a popular tourist attraction. Many stations are distinguished by their unique architecture and decor. The deepest underground station is the 191st Street station in Manhattan, you have to descend 180 feet (55 meters) underground to get there. The highest station is Smith-9 Street in Brooklyn, which is 88 feet (27 meters) above street level. About 60% of metro stations are underground. Currently, there are 9 abandoned metro stations, these are the so-called ghost stations. The most impressive of these is City Hall Station, which can be visited. One of the stations South 4th Street was never used.
