"I can draw anything if you let me put scaffolding around it, ladders,
cranes. I'm not afraid of it. As soon as I have to take those things
away, it's a whole new ball game."

[QUOTE]
"The core of the Boston subway system (was) built between 1895 and 1915.
That's a huge amount of subway construction with basically hand labor,
horses and human beings' muscles working very hard, a few steam
shovels....(It's a) much bigger deal than the Big Dig, if you correct
for inflation."
-- Fred Salvucci
