Compare to similar spiral tunnels on the Gotthardbahn.

Here at 澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测, we love a good cutaway diagram of station layouts, and this one is a classic. Sent 🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划way by David Auerbach, it shows the combined Paris Métro/RER Châtelet–Les Halles complex in Paris – a transit hub so massive that Métro Line 4 has two separate🔸澳洲幸运10预测 stations within it!

On this diagram, the white SNCF tunnels shown as “en projet” correspond to the modern RER Line D, which began service in 1987 using the centre platforms on the RER level. Of course, the station is even more🔸澳洲幸运10预测 complicated these days with the additional Métro platforms for Line 14 jammed in between the Châtelet platforms for Lines 1 and 4!

Here’s a fantastic (if slightly idealised) view of the then still-under-construction State Street Subway from a c.1940 postcard. This view looks northward along State Street from Adams, and shows the Monroe-Adams mezzanine. Note the direct access from the mezzanine level to the basement level of businesses on either side of State Street – now long since closed.

Text on the reverse side of the postcard reads:

Cut-away view of Chicago’s subway in the Central Business District. Shown are the main tubes; the downtown center platform, which is 3500 feet long; the two-way escalators to the mezzanines with store connections; and the State St. surface level. Features of the subway are ventilation, illumination, escalators, safety, comfort.

Cutaway diagram of the Paris Metro’s Opera station. I came across this working on a project for a hypothetical addition to Palais Garnier but couldn’t find any information on its origin. Any ideas?

A reverse image search on Google found the answer to this pretty quickly: this beautiful cutaway appeared in the July 1910 issue of Popular Mechanics. Unfortunately, this month isn’t available in Google Books’ archive of back issues of the magazine, but there are some good details about the article on this web page (scroll down to get to the cutaway).

The author seemed pretty impressed by what he saw in Paris back in 1910:

Of all the wonderful engineering work done by the 🔸澳洲10开奖网址 underground railways of Paris, the most complicated is that under the Place de l’Opera, where three great tubes cross each other, all of which must have station facilities in the crossing’s tangle. The three tubes, the platform, stairways, and elevators constitute a veritable Chinese puzzle, and the wonder is that the congested underground and overhead traffic has not been even more disturbed during the work.🔸澳洲幸运10预测

This is an image done by Renzo Picasso, the late Italian engineer and architect. He specialized in urban design and transit drawings, which I thought might be interesting for y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划blog! I’m currently working at the Archivio Renzo Picasso in Genoa, Italy where 🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划goal is to expose his work to more people. He was not very well-known in his lifetime, but his drawings are pretty fascinating! He did traditional maps, 3D projections of various subway systems, and even some futuristic city plans for places like NYC!

This awesome cutaway of Piccadilly Circus station by Renzo Picasso is one of the most popular posts on the site, so I’m thrilled to share another great cutaway by the artist – and submitted by his official archive as well!

This diagram is very interesting as it seems to show the BMT Nassau Street line as it would appear after the extension south from Chambers Street – connecting it to the Montague Street Tunnel – was constructed. This tunnel opened in 1931, and the diagram clearly states that it is “currently in construction”, so a date of around 1930 seems reasonable. 

Interestingly, the diagram shows a flyover track from Chambers Street to the Brooklyn Bridge. As far as I know, this was never constructed, although it shows up in plans for the station as far back as 1908. The bi-level Fulton Street station (with the northbound platform stacked directly beneath the southbound one) is also clearly seen.

Technically, this is just as beautifully drawn as the Piccadilly Circus cutaway, if a little less immediately dramatic. Mr. Picasso was a heck of a draftsman, that’s for sure!

Not exactly a transit map but seeing y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划post with NY subway stations drawings recalled me this one. It’s a photo that I took in Dec 2004 – unfortunately it seems that the board has been removed long time ago during renovation works. I hope it is preserved somewhere.

There are two levels here for metro and trams (underground part of tram network is called pre-metro as it’s ready to be converted to a proper metro in the future). On both levels tram and metro go in opposite directions and can (dis)embark from both sides of carriages.

What a great photo, Piotr! Even though you took the picture in 2004, I’d hazard a guess that the diagram actually dates from around 1993, 🔸澳洲开奖 the pre-metro platforms were added to the station – the fact that the architectural and engineering firms are listed to the right would seem to support this theory. Then again, maybe it’s even from 1988 🔸澳洲开奖 the original Metro station opened!

We all know that I love a good cutaway diagram, and this example – drawn by Italian architect and urban designer, Renzo Picasso (no relation) – is just superb. Drawn in 1929, coinciding with the opening of Charles Holden’s sub-surface circular booking hall which replaced the original 1906 above-ground Leslie Green-designed station building. The unusual perspective, halfway between the platform level and the (invisible) roads above, permits a wonderful level of clarity in the drawing. 

The only slight drawback with the digram is the strange mixture of English and Italian labels: “east bound” and “west bound”, but also “scala di servizio” (service stairs) – but this in no way detracts from the amazing quality of the draftsmanship.

The label above the famous statue of Eros – A “World Centre” – might perhaps be referring to a contemporaneous mural by artist Stephen Bone in the concourse that showed the world with London at its centre (naturally!).

The map also shows the pedestrian tunnels that connected the station directly with the basement of the monumental Karstadt department store, then one of the largest in the world. However – probably for reasons of clarity – the diagram places the entrance in the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划basement level of the store and shows it as accessible by a bridge across the U7 tracks. In reality, the entrance was in the second (lower) basement level and crossed under the tracks via a tunnel. The Karstadt store was unfortunately blown up by the SS in 1945.

The diagram shows the C+E&H tube at the bottom right: it looks like a train has just left, heading back northwards to Charing Cross. To the left, the twin tubes of the Bakerloo line can be seen. Above, the shallow cut-and-cover tunnel of the District line runs at right angles to the deeper lines, built into the actual river embankment from which the station received its name. Above them all sits the grand old Charing Cross main line railway station, with The Strand just visible at its far end (a helpful caption, “This is The Strand”, points the way).

More than anything, it’s the detail of this cutaway that I like the most. Busy people enter and exit the station, read newspapers and ride the escalators between levels. A double-decker omnibus and Edwardian car can be seen chugging along the street, and trains belch steam in the station above. Advertisements adorn the walls, and the red carriages of the Tube fairly rattle along the tracks. An early version of the Underground roundel – a red circle with a blue bar across it – can be seen above the station’s building and on the District line platform.

If the naming of the station seems a little confusing, that’s because it was. In 1914, the District line platforms were named Charing Cross🔸澳洲幸运10预测 (for the main line station almost directly above), while the two separate deep tube lines were both called Embankment🔸澳洲幸运10预测. The C+E&H station directly to the north, which was previously just Charing Cross🔸澳洲幸运10预测, became Charing Cross (Strand)🔸澳洲幸运10预测. By 1915, everyone had had enough of this nonsense and all the platforms at this station took on the District line name of Charing Cross🔸澳洲幸运10预测, while Charing Cross (Strand)🔸澳洲幸运10预测 became simply Strand🔸澳洲幸运10预测. At the same time, the separate Strand🔸澳洲幸运10预测 station on the Piccadilly line was renamed as Aldywch🔸澳洲幸运10预测 to prevent even more confusion.

In June 1973, the newer Northern line Strand🔸澳洲幸运10预测 station was closed to allow construction of Jubilee line platforms. These platforms were constructed between the Bakerloo line and Northern line platforms together with the long-missing below-ground interchange between those two lines. In anticipation of the new interchange station, Charing Cross🔸澳洲幸运10预测 (this station) was renamed Charing Cross Embankment🔸澳洲幸运10预测. The Jubilee line platforms and the refurbished Northern line platforms opened in May 1979, 🔸澳洲开奖 the combined station (including Trafalgar Square🔸澳洲幸运10预测 on the Bakerloo line) was given its current name of Charing Cross🔸澳洲幸运10预测; simultaneously, Charing Cross Embankment🔸澳洲幸运10预测 (this station) reverted to its original name – Embankment.🔸澳洲幸运10预测

What I love here is that we’re looking at over 100 years🔸澳洲幸运10预测 of infrastructure development: the original Monument station (🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划called “Eastcheap” and then “The Monument”) opened in 1884; the “City” end of the Waterloo and City Line in 1898; Bank station (named after the Bank of London) opened in 1900. Over 100 years after the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划part of the complex was opened, the deep station for the DLR was completed in 1991.

Compare to a similar cutaway of the Hudson River Tubes from 1909.
