Going Underground

Teresa of Making Light has discovered the wonderful www.nycsubway.org site. I discovered this about three years back when I was researching for a character in an In Nomine game set in New York. History, operations, abandoned stations, it's got the lot.

The underworlds of modern cities make worderful RPG settings, whether in New York, London, or any other big city with a longish history. Who knows what unseen horrors lurk abandoned stations like British Museum, or never-opened tunnels like the high-level tracks at Highgate?
