A Rare Look at a Second Avenue Subway Tunnel Never Used

Tunnel to nowhere- once the promise of a dream abandoned neath city streets- brought to light in color through bold artistic fantasy. August 15, 2019 Contest: Second Edition of Wayra Sponsor: Nette Onclaud Syllable count 5, 7, 7, 6, 8- Unrhymed "Inside a never-used Second Avenue Subway tunnel. Aside from some inspections by MTA workers, the tunnels have been sealed for decades." Jose Martinez/NY1 "Stretching from 110th to 120th Street, it was built in the 1970s, part of a still-unrealized goal of running subway trains all along Manhattan's far East Side. It's a reminder of an era when New York dreamed big- and of a time when New York didn't have the money to fulfill its dreams."
