SUBWAY CLOG. American, Hornpipe or Clog (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. In Philadelphia, where the J.W. Pepper collection was published in 1908, the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company (PRT) was established in 1902 to provide surface congestion solutions to the city in the form of electric trolleys, subway and elevated rail lines. Construction on the Market Street subway began in 1903, and by 1905 the western part of the subway was open for use.
