Happy 120th Birthday! On October 27, 1904, the world was changed forever when the Interborough Rapid Transit Company and the City Of New York operated the first revenue subway train from City Hall Station. It was the first subway construction as part of a larger system in New York City and on the first day, a person could ride 9.1 miles through 28 stations from City Hall to 145 Street in Manhattan. One of the oldest "scenes" that could be recreated from that era today is at the Wall Street Station, which opened on June 12, 1905, and there is still a vintage wooden ticket booth that can be seen on the platform. In preparation for upcoming excursions, on Tuesday, October 22, 2024 the MTA New York City Subway/New York Transit Museum's Lo-V cars were operated across a few routes. This four car set (S-5443-5290-5483-5292-N) is over 100 years old, and is used on special occasions, including being planned for a sold out 120th Anniversary excursion this Sunday to celebrate "Subway Day" as well as sports events.
