The NY Times has created a loving photo essay depicting the long and storied history of the New York Subway.
The story begins in 1917 with a photo of Anna Maloney, the first female subway guard.
A picture from 1960 portrays a man from the ASPCA rescuing two monkeys from the subway catacombs.
And in a more recent vintage, two musicians dressed as a chicken and a skunk entertain passersby with ragtime music at the Times Square Station.
