Shana Corey on “The Secret Subway”

CcJgwrqWAAANWNCNew York City in the 1860s was a mess: crowded, disgusting, filled with GARBAGE! You see, way back in 1860, there were no subways, just cobblestone streets. That is, UNTIL inventor and MAKER Alfred Ely Beach had the idea for a fan-powered train that would travel underground. On February 26, 1870, after fifty-eight days of drilling and painting and plastering, Beach unveiled his masterpiece—and the rest is history! After all, sometimes it just takes one idea to get things rolling!
