Steinway Tunnel
The Steinway Tunnel (officially known as the Steinway Tube) is a pair of tubes carrying the IRT Flushing Line (7 and <7> trains) of the New York City Subway under the East River between 42nd Street in Manhattan and 50th Avenue in Long Island City, Queens, in New York City. It was originally designed and built as an interurban trolley tunnel (with a narrow loading gauge and height), with stations near the current Hunters Point Avenue and Grand Central stations.
Planning for the tunnel began in 1885 but construction did not start until 1892 due to a lack of funds.
