Lots of great subway photos here: http://world.nycsubway.org This covers the cars and stations and gives you a lot to work with. I haven't come across tunnel shots though. Also for surface track, the satellite photos at maps.google are a tremendous resource. I haven't figured out how, if you can, pinpoint stations, but if you know a nearby address you can find stations and trackwork pretty easily. For instance if you search for Krispy Kreme Medford Massachusetts and click on item A, that will bring you right beside the Wellington Station and one of the servicing facilities on the Orange Line. Zoom in to the largest magnification and just scroll over a little to the left and down a little. You can drag the photo around with the mouse for smaller adjustments than you get by clicking the arrows. The cars in service on the Orange Line are 65' long, so as you can see from the train in the reversing loop, that loop is approximately 130' radius, or about 9 3/4" in N scale! If you continue scrolling down to follow the tracks you will pretty quickly come to the servicing facilities for the diesel powered commuter trains, and then to North Station. Cheers, Maureen
