Celebrating NYC’s Underground - NYC Transit Museum

The museum was founded in 1976, and is located in a 1936 subway station in Downtown Brooklyn. The museum tells the story of New York mass transit through changing exhibits and vintage subway and commuter train cars you can board.

Here is what caught my eye; I hope you enjoy!
