A Bronx Bound 2 Train accelerates out of the 96th Street Station on Manhattan's Upper West Side

This image is a close-up of a stained glass panel installed in 2008 as part of the Arts for Transit program in the 183rd Street subway station, on the (IRT) 4 subway line in the Bronx. The artist is Jose Ortiz.

The following are excerpts from the artist's statement:

Using architecture and landmarks, the work that I am presenting is a depiction of the cultural and historical perspective of the area, which is known as the University Heights section of The Bronx. The Bronx takes its name from Bronck's Farms, an early settler in the area. Swedish immigrant, Jonas Bronck’s 500-acre farm lay between the Harlem River and the Aquahung River—now the Bronx River.

The theme of "Many Trails" symbolizes the multiculturalism of this area from the time when Native Americans inhabited the land through today's immigrant population. "Many Trails" also symbolizes travel and finding one's way through the use of visual history.

Although there is no actual founding date for University Heights, the creation of this community included the Aqueduct, St. Nicholas of Tolentine Church, and the Hall of Fame for Great Americans, which is housed at Bronx Community College. Through the use of architecture and landmarks several panels represent this area and the era of its founding

this isn't sepia-tone. It's New York City Subway dirt. I can almost smell it....
