The Beach Pneumatic Transit was the first attempt to build an underground public transit system in New York City. It was developed by Alfred Ely Beach in 1869 as a demonstration subway line running on pneumatic power. The subway line had one stop in the basement of the Rogers Peet Building and a one-car shuttle going back and forth. It was not a regular mode of transportation, and lasted from 1870 until 1873.

(en) Der Beach Pneumatic Transit war ein experimentelles Verkehrsmittel. Es handelte sich dabei um einen 95 m langen Tunnel unter dem Broadway, in dem von 1870 bis 1873 ein mit Druckluft angetriebener Wagen verkehrte, ähnlich einer Rohrpost. Namensgeber des ersten (erfolglosen) Versuchs, in New York City eine U-Bahn zu bauen, war der Erfinder und Verleger Alfred Ely Beach. (de) El Transporte Neumático de Beach (en inglés, Beach Pneumatic Transit) fue el primer intento para construir un subterráneo para el transporte público en la Ciudad de Nueva York. Fue desarrollado por Alfred Ely Beach en 1869 como demostración de línea de metro operada por el poder neumático. Como la línea contaba con una sola parada y un único coche-lanzadera, fue exclusivamente un invento novedoso y no un medio de transporte regular. Estuvo en activo entre 1870 y 1873. (es) Le Beach Pneumatic Transit (en français : « Métro pneumatique Beach ») est un métro embryonnaire de la ville de New York. Premier réseau de transport en commun souterrain de la ville, il servit de base au futur métro, dont la première ligne souterraine fut inaugurée en 1904. Il fut inventé par Alfred Ely Beach qui en entama la construction en 1869 à travers son entreprise, la Beach Pneumatic Transit Company. Beach avait fait la démonstration de son projet deux ans avant, en 1867, à l'occasion d'une exposition de l'American Institute of the City of New York. Pour le mener à bien, il investit 350 000 dollars issus de sa fortune personnelle. (fr) Il Beach Pneumatic Transit (IPA: [biʧ nuˈmætɪk ˈtrænzɪt], in italiano letteralmente Trasporto pubblico pneumatico di Beach) era una linea metropolitana dimostrativa rimasta attiva tra il 1870 e il 1873. Basata sull'idea della ferrovia pneumatica, fu il primo tentativo di costruire una rete sotterranea di trasporto pubblico nella città di New York, che si sarebbe concretizzato solo nel 1904, con l'apertura della prima linea metropolitana gestita dall'IRT.
