Nostalgia Train fans, this is your month! NYC Transit is running the 1930s-era Nostalgia Shoppers' Special on the V line between Long Island City in Queens and lower Manhattan! According to the MTA, "The Nostalgia Shoppers' Special is made up of subway cars in service from the 1930s to the 1970s, running along the lettered lines from the Grand Concourse to Coney Island. Ceiling fans, padded seats and incandescent light bulbs were state-of-the-art when these cars were first placed in service."

The Radio City Rockettes are definitely busy these days—this morning, they will be on a Nostalgia Train! NYC Transit says the 1930's era IND Nostalgia Train will leave the Chambers Street E platform at about 10 a.m. and "will make stops enroute to the D line at West 4th Street, arriving at 47-50 St/Rockefeller Center station." Well, naturally the destination is Rockefeller Center, which is right by Radio City Music Hall, where the Christmas Spectacular is playing.

NYC Transit's Nostalgia Train is back for tonight's game. According to its Twitter feed, "World Series: 4-car vintage 1917 IRT Nostalgia Special departs Grand Central 7:15pm to 161st St. Come join the fun. Go Bombers!!"

     

After offering the special four-car train during the ALDS, NYC Transit has brought back the Nostalgia Train (circa 1917 Lo-V cars) for the American League Championship Series between the Yankees and Angels. You board the Nostalgia Train at Grand Central at 7:15 p.m.—NYC Transit says it will arrive "at 161st Street-Yankee Stadium about 30 minutes later."

A reminder to anyone going to tonight's Yankees-Twins game—you might want to take NYC Transit's Nostalgia Train, which leaves Grand Central at 3:45 p.m. The four-car train, which headed to the Bronx on Wednesday, makes "all express stops on the Lexington Avenue Line and arriving at 161st Street-Yankee Stadium about 35 minutes later."

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").

       

Starting today, the MTA will give you a chance to step back in time. A vintage subway train--the "Nostalgia Train"-- will be running every Sunday through December on the V. In the words of the MTA, "With a little bit of luck and good timing, you can catch a ride on this classic subway car at stations along the V line between Queens Plaza and 2 Ave."
