Take a historic ride on a vintage New York City subway train. The classic subway train cars from the 1930s to the 1970s travel along the V line between Second Ave on the Lower East Side to Queens Plaza. The ride will bring back memories for all who have traveled the subways of past decades . Enjoy the ride.

  • These trains are run as a special holiday treat during the month of December. Every Sunday during the Christmas month the MTA runs these vintage subway cars from the LES 2nd Ave F line to queens. They string about 5 to 6 cars together and leave the doors open so you can walk through. They even have the old subway ads posted. Check the MTA web site in December to get details. I went the last 2 years. It was sooooo much fun; so many happy memories.

  • @rdgwd237 Yeah they are in the subway museum in brooklyn.

    Went on vacation and demanded to see them, so cool, they had TB ads on there, it was crazy.

  • I always miss this. I moved away several years ago, but always visit for Christmas, and always miss this!! I love visiting the MTA museum in Brooklyn and seeing the old subway trains and vestiges there. It'd be great to see them actually rolling through the system. Maybe this year I'll finally get a glimpse.

  • missing the graffiti on it :(

  • Certainly a treat, " 60's " style but remember leather straps before that, I think they spruced up for the Worlds Fair in New York around 1963 or 1964 and reconditioned many trains at that point in anticipation of world visitors and all of the publicity in the world as a result.

    rdgwd237 all of your videos are interesting to say the very least, thank you for creating and taking the time to post them, so many of us are one time residents there, still have some family there right now too.

  • Nice i been lke in the year of the 1900

  • This is great! I am a native New Yorker and a strap hanger and I had no idea these cars were running! I've never seen one! I can't believe how clean they keep them! I am headed to the LES to hop on one this coming week!

  • Nice vid!!!
