[In the 1980s] "A New York Times guest editorial suggested combining the MX missile deployment system (requiring underground launching) with the New York Subway.111 Selected trains would contain an extra car containing an MX missile that could be launched from any subway station. The motorman's cab would be equipped with a launch button, and command center would provide instructions of when to push the button. The Soviet Union would never find the MX missiles because their locations would be constantly changing (or would be rerouted due to track work), and the NY subway would get an infusion of funds by the Federal government to deploy the MX system. Some of that would be earmarked for subway improvements."
