The Transit Museum has been running Nostalgia Rides since 1976, giving straphangers the chance to hold literal straps aboard authentic vintage trains that don't have automated voice announcements, air conditioning or bright fluorescent lighting.

After a two-year hiatus caused by the pandemic, the Transit Museum's Nostalgia Trains are running again this summer, ready to transport you across the city in the same machinery that New Yorkers used in the early 20th century.

All the cars are from the Transit Museum's collection. In addition to being fun for transit enthusiasts, the trips are also essential to keeping the cars in a functional state. There will be three rides this summer, with the first in June giving riders a glimpse of the decommissioned Old South Ferry Loop, which was opened in 1905 and closed to the public since 2017. The second ride in July is the beloved Coney Island Nostalgia Ride, and the last one will transport people to the Rockaways.on Saturday, June 4th at 9:30 a.m.: a non-stop roundtrip ride on 1916-1925 IRT “Lo-V” cars will depart from the old South Ferry station.
