Kristen V. Brown, Newsday
On every Sunday throughout December, the MTA of NYC will have vintage R-series subways trains on the tracks for holiday travelers to enjoy!
The old cars are usually stored at the New York City Transit Museum in Brooklyn Heights, but every Sunday this December, the MTA will operate a 1930s to 1940s six-car train on the V line, running from Queens Plaza to Second Avenue in Manhattan, a part of the line’s run. The museum has 88 of the vintage cars, 20 of which are on display. This year’s holiday line is made up of cars from the R-1 through R-9 series that used to operate on the IND and BMT lines.
This is like…the absolute worst time for me to be away from the city! They did this for a while last year I believe, so I hope next year these trains will be introduced once more.
Thanks Simon for the tip!
