Cincinnati is the site of the country's largest abandoned subway tunnel. But "abandoned" is not quite the word, as construction slowed to a stop in 1925 before even half of the 16 mile line was completed.

The San Diego Trolley system – which turns 25 Wednesday – may trace its genesis to an obscure British monthly for streetcar buffs.

Sure there are other systems with more route miles, more stations and longer hours. But few systems boast more riders or, as this photoset demonstrates, such grand station design.

"Deep down beneath the choked streets of London was a railway which once ran busily for nineteen hours a day. It carried no passengers and its trains had no drivers or guards. Yet this seemingly strange system was one of the most successful railways in the world."

Sure everyone has heard of the Washington Metro, but did you also know there is a 3-line system that serves the U.S. Capitol and the Senate and House Office Buildings? Learn more about this fascinating "mini-Metro".
