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 26 stations from City Hall to 145 Street in Manhattan. On October 27, 2024, a 120th Anniversary Special was operated by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority - MTA NYCT Subway/New York Transit Museum across the original Contract One Line, starting at the South Ferry Loop and ending on the northbound platform at the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall Station.
