The Grand Opening of the Metro Station

Two years later, on a crisp autumn day in 891, the bustling metropolis of New York City buzzed with anticipation as a grand ceremony unfolded at the heart of the city. The New York Board of Transportation had meticulously organized the inauguration of the first-ever subway station, a testament to the relentless progress of modern engineering.

Amidst the dignitaries and esteemed guests in attendance, including the President of the United States and the Councilors of the New York Board of Transportation, two figures stood prominently at the forefront. Jonathan Axelsen, the visionary maverick in civil engineering, and Poul Nielsen, an engineer who built the first functioning and efficient electric locomotive, were the masterminds behind this monumental achievement. Their names echoed with reverence in the conversations of the crowds gathered around them.

Poul and Jonathan exchanged glances at one another and smiled.
