Vintage subway train rides are returning for Mets and Yankees home openers, celebrating the tradition of fans traveling to the ballpark.
On Saturday, October 4 you can take a historic ride uptown to Woodlawn Cemetery on their WWI-era IRT Lo-V (Low Voltage) subway cars. More than 1,600 of these train cars were built for New York's first subway line company, which featured safer electrical systems and durable steel construction. The cars also appeared in classic films like King Kong and The Incident. The trains were retired by 1969-and fewer than 10 survive today, with six preserved in the Transit Museum's fleet.
