50 Years of the New York Transit Museum

In 1976, as part of America's bicentennial celebration, the New York Transit Museum was born, after a temporary exhibit was proposed by city transit employees. The museum was set up in a decommissioned 1936 subway station in Brooklyn, where it still stands today. As part of the 50th anniversary, the Museum has organized special programming, including a family fundraiser, a parade of trains, and anniversary shuttle rides.
