Bridges. The Nostalgia Special is stopped at the 125th Street Station as it makes it way back to Chambers Street on the second run of the day. The George Washington Bridge is in the background, spanning the Hudson River from New York to New Jersey since 1931.
The Final Trips of the 2022 MTA NYCT Subway/NY Transit Museum Holiday Train. A new experience was created for the 2022 Metropolitan Transportation Authority - MTA NYCT Subway/New York Transit Museum, as for the first time a repainted 10-car train of IRT (Interborough Rapid Transit/A Division/Numbered Line) was operated for this event. The train made 4 round trips between Chambers Street and 137 Street-City College, and there was no extra charge for taking a ride. The cars represent a few contacts of similar cars built by St. Louis Car Company-GSI between 1962-1964, and were all retired from active service by the end of 2003. Enhancing the variety of the experience, the 5 “sets” of cars (4 married pairs and 1 set of 2 single cars) were repainted into 5 different paint schemes that the cars wore over their 40 year careers. From the very bright and long gone 1964-54 World’s Fair Robin’s Egg blue and white to the more recent “Gunn Red” Redbirds, this train was indeed of many colors. On Sunday, December 18, 2022, the last of the four weeks of this special train operating, the crowds came out in force as they had for the previous weeks, showing that these holiday runs are as popular as ever.
