NYC Transit Museum

the old NY Transit Authority logo

We took my son to the Transit Museum in downtown Brooklyn today. It’s nice to see what the subway used to be like before it got disgusting, although the “new” F trains are nice. At some point the trains went from being rather beautiful with soft benches to the institutional looking beasts they’ve become today. Anyway, it’s a worth a trip – but there is basically no air conditioning which made us hurry through. Some shots below.

nice train from the 40s - look at the fans
