PBS American Experience: The Race Underground – Testing the First Electric S ubway Motor
Untapped Cities
Published on Jan 25, 2017
The Race Underground traces the transformative ideas of 29-year old American naval officer, Frank Sprague, who envisioned a subway system that would run on electric power instead of the coal of the London Underground. Sprague was primed for the role, having worked initially with Thomas Edison after naval service. He launched a venture under his name, the Sprague Electric Railway & Motor Company, and looked for investors among the Gilded Age barons of the time. On a short track in on an alley between two brick buildings near the Durant Sugar Factory off East 24th Street near the East River, Sprague met Jay Gould to give a test run. Sprague puts Gould at the front of a flatbed train car as a showman’s move, giving the industrialist a literal front row seat. But Sprague became “a little overzealous,” says Doug Most, the author of The Race Underground: Boston, New York, and the Incredible Rivalry That Built America’s First Subway in which the documentary is partly based on.

TEDx Talks
Published on Oct 6, 2014
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. The historic city of Boston draws visitors from around the world to revolution-era sites, but what hidden history lies beneath the charming cobbled streets and brick meeting houses? Artist Ross Miller reveals the surprising answer as he embarks urban public art project at the intersection of a beloved Boston public landscape, a long neglected period of history, and a seasonal celebration. Ross Miller is a visual artist whose work integrates art into the public landscape. Through site-based projects he seeks to encourage community conversation in outdoor spaces, and to create places for private reflection in civic environments.
