NYC Transit offered some folks heading to the Bronx for tonight's Yankees' ALDS playoff game a ride on a four-car Nostalgia Train, which originally began service in 1917 (they were retired in the 1960s). If you missed it today and are heading to Friday's game, keep this in mind, another "Nostalgia Special" will depart 42nd Street-Grand Central at 3:45 p.m. (it makes "all express stops on the Lexington Avenue Line and arriving at 161st Street-Yankee Stadium about 35 minutes later").
NYC Transit adds, "The Lo-V subway cars served customers for more than five decades before they were retired in the 1960s and currently serve as a splendid illustration of just how far rapid transit car design and technology have advanced over the past 100 years." And if you can't make it on a Nostalgia Train, visit the Transit Museum.
