☞ REVIVE: 2nd Avenue Subway on Its Way

The above MTA video (filmed last week) shows the Tunnel Boring Machine being placed at the site of future 96th Street Station right by the cusp of East Harlem. Most folks have been waiting for the arrival of the 2nd Avenue subway for decades and it is finally happening. This first phase of the 2nd Avenue subway involves the Q line so the 7 foot tall drill will be connecting the upper east side to the 57th Street midtown station in the near future. The cool underground shots start at the 2:30 minute mark. Follow all things 2nd Avenue Subway at The Launch Box blog: LINK
