Method and apparatus for constructing an underground railway which includes platform station tunnels and interconnecting carrier tunnels, both the platform station tunnels and carrier tunnels being constructed as a gradually formed subsurface gallery, without excavating through the overburden. All the tunnels are formed with the aid of an underground tunneling machine housed in a shield. All tunnels have substantially the same profile.
