  2. No mention of the first subway tunnel ever built in NYC? Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn had a subway line that ran under the street for several hundred feet. The line was operated by horse drawn train and went down to the docs north of Court Street. This was before Tesla helped build the first electric train motor. There are still sections of it that exist; while the rest was buried/filled in decades ago. 10 years ago there were still tours that would go down there.

  8. I am fascinated by your videos. I was wondering if you could someday do a video on the great hotels in the city. Especially, for personal reasons, The Sherry-Netherland, which I know has an amazing history.

  14. I grew up in Coney Island which is not far from Bay Ridge and I had a great view of this beautiful bridge from my house, actually if u lived anywhere around there in neighborhoods like Coney Island, Sunset Park, parts of Bensonhurst, Bay Ridge, Red Hook, Gawanus the bridge is so big it dominates the landscape u can see it easily its especially beautiful at night with the lights on. It's definitely my absolute favorite bridge in NYC

  16. Many miles of different railroad tracks up in Sussex and Warren Counties have had the rails, ties and ballast removed and have been turned into the Rails to Trails program. Before that those of us who were avid horseback riders used them. You could go all day and many miles. They were beautiful.

  22. My favorite NYC Subway cars are the R32, R46 and R62. I was shocked when a news video I was watching referred to the R46 as "a bucket of bolts."

  25. My wife and I enjoy all your videos. You do a great job with basic history overviews of many subjects. Prior to putting this video together, however, it would have been wise to check with some of the engineers at the Chicago DPW and/or with consulting engineer firms such as HNTB Corporation, Parsons Brinkerhoff, CTE, etc., who provide condition inspections and designs for rehabilitation of these old bridges when needed, as you missed an important point -- one that is easily missed by not doing so. There are major differences between a Chicago Type Trunnion Bascule Bridge, which pivots around large diameter trunnion shafts located at fixed points on each shore (truly similar to a seesaw), and a Scherzer Rolling Lift Type Bascule Bridge which actually rolls back away from the river on large tracks and treads as it lifts (hence the name, rolling lift). They are not the same. The rolling lift bridge provides more clearance for navigation than the trunnion bascule bridge type can, and the rolling lift type remains a viable movable bridge design today, as do various types of trunnion bascule bridges. However, the early Scherzer rolling lift bridges had serious structural issues that were not overcome for a couple decades. This led the City of Chicago to develop the Chicago Type Trunnion Bascule, with assistance from Ralph Modjeski and others, in the first decade of the 1900s, and they established it as their standard. All Chicago bascule bridges designed and built for the Chicago DPW over the past 120 years or so have therefore been Chicago Type Trunnion Bascules, not Scherzer Rolling Lift bascules.

  27. One of my favorite Chicago skyscrapers, down to the elegant Cartier appointments in the lobby. The beautiful marbles always make me want a latte with their color and texture so reminiscent of that beverage. Ryan tells the story of his city with much erudition and really puts his heart into it.

  30. Fun Fact: The word Coney means Rabbit! There were many rabbits on the island when the Dutch settled. It is derived from the Dutch word Konijn which evolved into Coney! Great video! Thank you!

  31. You do a lot of episodes concerning New York and New Jersey, are you from the area or do you find it particularly interesting for some other reason? Not a complaint; I live in NJ and I'm always interested in learning about local history.

  32. You can tell, even from the still photos, how treacherous the current flows thru Hell Gate. It’s the Atlantic Ocean.

  43. I have lived in New York City my entire life and this bridge never fails to capture my fascination. It is awesome to consider, it never tires the eyes and most importantly, it is functional and necessary.

  48. My family came those there. I’m pretty sure they changed our last name and sent family home. Some ended up in South America as the story goes, but they have been lost to time. Granted it was a hundred years ago.
