This compelling historic text offers a meticulous account of the planning, construction, and operation of Boston's subway system, which began in 1894 and continued for the next twenty-four years. It is the final report of the Boston Transit Commission after being extended to accommodate the tunnel's later additions: the Boylston Street Subway, East Boston Tunnel Extension, and the Dorchester Tunnel. As the first comprehensive work on the subject, the report contains in-depth technical analyses of the engineering and construction challenges faced by the commission, as well as fascinating insights into the social and political climate surrounding the project. The author details the various debates, controversies, and innovations that arose during the construction process, placing them in the context of the growing urban landscape of Boston and the evolving field of transportation engineering.
