Vintage subway rides leave LIC every Sunday

Dec. 6, 2012 By Christian Murray

The MTA is running vintage subway trains every Sunday from Queens Plaza.

The trains provide passengers with a feel of what it was like traveling the subways of yesteryear. The trains include advertisement from years ago and include straphangers. There are signs explaining the history of the cars.

Riders have the option to take the whole ride (a half hour or so, Manhattan to Queens), or just hop on and off. Some enthusiasts dress up in clothes from the 1930s.

Departures from Queens Plaza are at
10:44 AM, 12:14 PM, 1:43 PM, 3:14 PM, and 4:44 PM on Sundays through December 30.
