    27 October 1904 - TRANSIT GETS RAPID BENEATH THE STREETS OF NEW YORK
    CITY: More than 100,000 people pay a nickel each to take a first-day
    ride on something wondrous beneath New York City's streets, the IRT
    Company's new underground train system. The 'subway' will prove
    immediately popular to folks keen on escaping the crush of city streets
    above.

    The early IRT system consisted of a single trunk line running south from
    96th Street in Manhattan (running under Broadway, 42nd Street, Park
    Avenue, and Lafayette Street), with a southern branch to Brooklyn. North
    of 96th Street, the line had three northern branches in Upper Manhattan
    and the Bronx. The system had four tracks between Brooklyn Bridge-City
    Hall and 96th Street, allowing for local and express service. The
    original line and early extensions consisted of:

    Planning for a rapid transit line in New York City started in 1894 with
    the enactment of the Rapid Transit Act. The plans were drawn up by a
    team of engineers led by William Barclay Parsons, chief engineer of the
    Rapid Transit Commission. The city government started construction on
    the first IRT subway in 1900, leasing it to the IRT for operation under Contracts 1 and 2. After the initial line was opened, several
    modifications and extensions were made in the 1900s and 1910s.
