The fascinating ruins of the subway of Rochester, New York
The rapid transit system of the city of Rochester, in New York State, little remains today. The network of subway lines was opened in 1927 and closed at the end of June 1956.The system is built on a branch of the Erie Canal, which was disabled. However, like many other cities, Rochester's ambitions quickly turned to the suburbs and, with the municipality's investment in roads, the fast transport system, comprising 24 seasons, quickly stopped being used.This transport was not completely similar to metro, but was referred to by users as such. Only a small part of the route was made underground, the rest being route made below the level of the roads but the surface.In 1947, it was estimated that the system was used for 5.1 million passengers annually, says the Atlantic Cities. But, with the advent of the car in the years 1950, municipal authorities have begun to cut back on service.Part of the route was recently salvaged and integrated urban transport system that links Rochester to New York. However, stations and kilometres of remaining route became places of choice for the graffiters and urban explorers. This former rail line can be freely exploited since the networks aren't closed nor is there any kind of ban.
