Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT, Now part of the MTA of NYC)

http://www.nycsubway.org/

Subway maps are one of my favorite things. Especially reading up on the evolution of the lines, how they came to what they are today, and all the changes that happen on a regular basis. While some systems don't change too often, NYC seems to be notorious for changing train routes. Forgotten-ny is one site I've spent countless hours browsing, as there are so many interesting pages to browse. The NYC transit system has changed so much since its creation (previously two separately created private systems, IRT and BRT) that there is actually a single-track platform under Times Square that no one knows what it was even used for (information found in Subwayland).
