As an ode to my NYC home, I made this piece to remind myself of how the subway allows strangers’ stories to interconnect for brief periods of time. (Note: I made this before COVID-19)

R17 6 train

A Bronx-bound #6 train shows off its snazzy new sealed beams as it barrels along under Manhattan in November 1957. The updated headlights, which could be seen from up to 1,500 feet, were installed as a warning system—part of the city’s attempt to mitigate the number of maintenance workers killed each year when they were caught unawares by an approaching train. But the City Transit Authority (the M.T.A. wouldn’t take over until 1968) soon found that the shiny new features offered an added benefit. “The long beams also save platform standees the trouble of craning to see if a train is approaching,” the NY Times reported. “The authority was pleased with the collateral effect of restraining people from leaning perilously from platforms to peer into the gloom of the tunnels.”
