Cincinnati Subway
The Cincinnati Subway is a set of incomplete, derelict tunnels and stations for a rapid transit system beneath the streets of Cincinnati, Ohio. It is recognized as the largest abandoned subway tunnel in the United States. It was built in the early twentieth century as an upgrade to the Cincinnati streetcar system, but was abandoned due to escalating costs and collapse of funding amidst political bickering during the 1920s.〔Krewedl, Derek. (October 22, 2002) "New life for old subway?", Downtowner. pp.1,14.〕 Today, many Cincinnatians are unaware of the tunnels underneath them.
==History==
Rapid transit was seen as the solution for downtown congestion during the first quarter of the 20th century. Six million dollars was allocated for the project, but construction was delayed due to World War I. Unexpected post-war inflation doubled the cost of construction, so the project could not be finished at the original estimated price. Various attempts to use the subway tunnels for mass transit have been unsuccessful. Political squabbling, the Great Depression, World War II, and the rise in popularity of the automobile have contributed to the failure of the proposals.〔
