The New Jersey Chapter 
of the National Railway Historical Society
presents a Zoom program

Underground Philadelphia:
From Caves and Canals to Tunnels and Transit

Jan 24, 2022 07:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

WJC member Joel Spivak will present his program on Underground Philadelphia. The program is based on a book by Harry Kyriadkodis and Joel that they put together in 2019.  We will record the program in case you miss it live.

Philadelphia’s relationship with the underground is as old as the city itself, dating back to when Quaker settlers resided in caves alongside the Delaware River more than three hundred years ago. The City of Brotherly Love later became a national and world leader in the delivery of water, gas, steam, and electricity during the industrial age. The construction of multiple subway lines within Center City took place during the early twentieth century. An intricate subsurface pedestrian concourse was also developed throughout the downtown area for the city’s inhabitants. From Thirtieth Street Station and Reading Terminal to the Commuter Rail Tunnel and transit lines that were never built, Philadelphia’s infrastructure history is buried under the earth as much as above.
