L0-V's make a lovely exit at Yankee Stadium

The 4 IRT Lo-V's that were used to carry people from Grand Central-42nd Street to Yankee Stadium for the final home game ever to be played at Yankee Stadium, departs from 161st Street for 167th Street so it can come down the center track and pose for pictures. Enjoy the sound of the whistles and the rev of the traction motors. The first two cars were built in 1917 and the last two cars were built in 1924. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken on September 21st, 2008.

A fitting way to close the book on the history of the old Yankee Stadium, run some of the very same type of subway cars that brought the first fans to the original Yankee stadium.
