⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Vintage 1960s R33-R36 Subway Cars in Passenger Service for the 2024 Yankees Home Opener!

The old "redbird" and "bluebird" cars are made up of several different car classes: the R26, R28, R29, R33ML, R33WF, R36WF, and R36ML. This train of preserved R36MLs, R36WFs, and R33WFs ran in passenger service for the 2024 Yankees Home Opener!

I was on that train when it ran that special service, riding in the front most “bluebird” R33 car when it was heading towards Yankee Stadium.

I like old MTA trains they're nice and awesome ngl

[@BryanRombot]

Good Job on the MTA to remind Yankees fans that there’s ANOTHER Baseball team in town, in reference to the destination sign of Willets Point-Shea Stadium (the former home of the Mets, 1964-2008).

[@Pabloreyes68461]

Why would a Yankee fan care about the other team lol

[@aaronthefriendlyroblox5733]

That is amazing, I didn’t know that since I was in NY yesterday only recording the A C and E lines, how long will the museum run until?

[@mtavideocapture]

the museum run was for one day. Check the NYTM schedule for upcoming runs

Yo i went there man its a experience you dont want to miss

I’d like to once again recommend the TA to invest in an attachable sensor for excursion trains to run on the CBTC Lines like the Flushing Line.

[@edrickang2338]

Non-CBTC equipped trains can still run on CBTC lines, they just have a larger buffer compared to trains equipped with CBTC

[@kevinwong6588]

@@edrickang2338 On the 7, an absolute block such as an available express track on a weekend or midday would work.

My dad works for the MTA and he was on that train and he told me about it

The 3 is actually light blue (it's just the color contrast on the train is what makes it green)
