Talk:Tandy Center Subway

Newark Subway privately owned?
This article said that the Newark Subway was another privately owned subway during the lifetime of the TCS. The Newark City Subway page says that before New Jersey Transit took it over, it was owned by the "Public Service Corporation of New Jersey," which sounds like a public company to me. I removed this assertion, but if someone knows more, please correct. --Jfruh 23:12, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

I remember the subway
When I was little, my mom used to take me on the tandy subway. We'd park in a giant hot parking lot, and then go underground down these stairs underneath the rails. That was so cool. Then we'd wait at one of the different colored stations for the next train. The ride was pretty short, but it was really cool when we got to the tunnel that eventually went to the building. It was all lit up with little amber lights in lines on the walls - at least that's what i remember. Might actually have been different and my imagination is making things different from what they really were. I miss that train. It is a fond childhood memory. 70.251.156.5 (talk) 07:47, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Not the only "private" subway in the U.S.
Leonard's subway was not the only "private" subway in the U.S. In Philadelphia, the Market Street end of the Market-Frankford Line was built entirely by private capital - and remained under private ownership until 1968.

The Newark City Subway was not fully "private." The tunnel itself was paid for by the city, and leased to the operator (not sure about the open-air sections of right-of-way). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.103.157.115 (talk) 07:23, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
