Completion of the Second Avenue subway’s extension in 2017 achieved an almost century-long effort to expand rapid transit service to Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

In this book launch celebration, Dan McNichol will present the dynamic story of the Second Avenue subway development. He will be joined by his co-author, former MTA Capital Executive Vice President, Bill Goodrich, and his photography editor, former MTA photographer, Patrick Cashin.
