I've always been fascinated by the elevated trains.
Underground tubes are an inward-looking, hurtling meditation of stainless steel and Plexiglas.
The El is a carnival, a clacking, sparking spidery light show - and a bit of left over Thirties or Forties New York in a world that is stupidly throwing those days away.
But either way, the subway is magic to me, menacing and wondrous.

Love this. Impressions of light and noise. I love the subways too. My favorites include the slow sweep of the 7 train as it moves across Queens and views the Manhattan panorama, and anytime the G train rattles into the station on time.
