For the record, the Museum Train (that's a train consisting of vintage cars from the 1930s and 40s) will be in regular passenger service each weekend in December. It's going to run on the V line, between Queens Plaza and 2nd Avenue.

I don't ride the subway on the weekends. Can you pull some strings to have it run on a weekday, say.....from 5:30pm to 6:00pm?

Fred, is there a place to find more info on it? We'd like to go see/ride it but can't find any information whatsoever anywhere. Is it every V train or just one train? If just one, how often does it run?

Much appreciated.

I like when they let the Vintage Buses out, it'd be nice if they ran in places other than Manhattan though.

Came up when I googled vintage cars v line mta

MTA NYC Transit - Service Advisories - Special Events (http://www.mta.info/nyct/service/events/nostalgia.htm - broken link)

To celebrate the holiday season, customers using the 6 Avenue line between the Queens Plaza and Lower East Side 2 Av stations have a treat in store. MTA New York City Transit’s “Nostalgia Train” is running every Sunday, November 30, and every Sunday in December!

With a little bit of luck and good timing, you can catch a ride on this classic subway car at stations along the line between Queens Plaza and 2 Av.

Departure times:
From Lower East Side 2 Av station on the V line at 10 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1 p.m., 2:30 p.m.
and 4 p.m.
From Queens Plaza station at 10:45 a.m., 12:15 p.m., 1:45 p.m., 3:15 p.m. and 4:45pm.

Yeah, I found that too, but it appeared to be for last year.

Press Release

Guess they need to clean up that mta site. Sorry, did not notice the date on the first one and the second one (press release) is not as informative as the previous year's.

Maybe because this year's Nostalgia Train will be doing exactly the same run!
