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.
