A, B, C, and D trains are mostly done in Manhattan and the Bronx! Really glad I planned ahead in a few spots, it was a nice surprise, because things are getting tighter.

And here it finally is, the whole IRT/A Division.
Debating if I should build the Newark and Hudson-Bergen light rails before doing the B Division.

Bronx done, and I'd like to wrap up the IRT today. Brooklyn and Queens are unavoidable now.

Manhattan done. I was insanely relieved when I got down to City Hall and remembered that the crossings to Brooklyn were already figured out and finished

After doing this on and off yesterday, I have a newfound appreciation for just how far north the city goes.
Done with the 1, 2, and 3 in Manhattan and the Bronx. Debating whether to head to the Brooklyn sections or start on the 4, 5, and 6 the same way

Never mind, that's everywhere on the island, really.
I didn't plan to do the three extra lines and two tunnels here, but probably worth it to get them settled in now

feels like Midtown Manhattan is going to be just a constant effort to not block myself in down the line

Cheated by four-tracking both tunnels. I'm going to build the 2nd Ave Subway eventually, so clearly I dig unrealistic scenarios.

they saved a ton a cash by using existing freight rights-of-way, but looking at it from this angle makes you really wonder what things would have been like if a subway line ever got built down Archer back in the day

still thinking this general idea, but might need to squeeze the Glassboro-Camden Line in somehow now that it's actually making real-life progress
Branches will recreate the modern NJT River Line, plus one that runs up the Marlton Pike through the Cherry Hill and Moorestown Malls, then to Mount Laurel Township.
