| Summary | "Metropolitan Subway and Elevated Systems" by General Electric Company is a scientific publication produced in the early 20th century. This work offers a comprehensive overview of various rapid transit systems, specifically focusing on the elevated and subway lines in major cities like Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, and New York. It provides detailed insights into the structure, operation, and historical context of these transit systems. The book delves into the specifics of each transportation system, covering aspects such as the routes, power supply, rolling stock, and operational statistics. For instance, it describes the Boston Elevated Railway as a robust system with over 500 miles of track that serves more than a million people, and highlights the importance of the role of electric traction in the development of urban transport. Additionally, it discusses ongoing improvements and expansions in systems like the Brooklyn Rapid Transit and the Chicago Elevated Railroads. Each section is rich with data and technical information, making it invaluable for historians, engineers, and urban planners interested in the evolution of metropolitan transit systems.
