This is brilliant work! I am a student of the history of NYC transit and although I am aware of almost every single change depicted in your video, seeing them sequentially in this way gives a much clearer picture of the overall growth (and demise) of all the lines. Please, please, please put together a zip file containing a JPEG file of each individual image - I wall gladly pay $29.99 for such a package!
Oops, it looks like I labeled the historical map wrong, it should be 1912. The 1924 map that appears later does also show the spur, but as best I can tell it actually closed in 1916. So look for it in this video prior to that. Thanks for pointing out the inconsistency.
Please, please, please, 🙏 could you please make a longer video and point out and explain each change instead of just running through each in two seconds so I can barely read the captions? Thanks!

I would 100% purchase a 1939 map drawn up as you have in the video to look like the modern day style.
You didn't include the Broadway Ferry spur on your map. It exists on the BMT map you showed.

Could you make stills of certain time periods to be viewed in greater detail? Cool to see old topology in the contemporary graphics
Are these maps going to be published somewhere? They're quite illegible on RUclips
I wish the whole quality is 4K
Amazing work!!!
