Title from web page.
Based in part on the Doug Most non-fiction book of the same name.
16x9 wide screen.
Narrator, Michael Murphy.
In the late 19th century, as Americaâ‚‚s teeming cities grew increasingly congested, the time had come to replace the nostalgic horse-drawn trolleys with a faster, cleaner, safer, and more efficient form of transportation. Ultimately, it was Boston, a city of so many firsts that overcame a litany of engineering challenges, the greed-driven interests of businessmen, and the great fears of its citizenry to construct America's first subway.
