NYC Transit Operates Vintage Subway Trains For Father's Day Weekend Specials

Brooklyn, NY, June 16, 2018 -
NYC Transit operated vintage BMT AB Standards and other museum equipment as Father's Day Specials that coincided with the Coney Island Mermaid Parade. The vintage trains are the 100+year old 'Brooklyn Union cars; 'Train of Many Steels'; BMT D-types and BMT 'B-type' Standards on round-trips to the Kings Highway station and back to the Brighton Beach elevated station on the BMT 'Q' Brighton line in Brooklyn from 10 am to 4 pm both days.
Some of the parade participants boarded the old cars and posed for my camera on Saturday morning.
At 4:30 pm on Saturday, all the vintage equipment was lined up next to the Ocean Parkway station for a group photo-op of the historic rolling stock.
