Practice Nostalgia Run For the Home Opener. On Tuesday, April 2, 2024, MTA NYCT Subway/New York Transit Museum operated a vintage set of IRT Lo-V cars for training and mechanical purposes ahead of Opening Day. The train is seen coming around the sweeping curve from the Yankees-161 Station in the Bronx, New York before into the tunnel. On Thursday, March 27, 2025, a pair of vintage trains will operate from 42 Street-Grand Central to 161 Street-Yankee Stadium for no additional fare. One train, the green Lo-Vs, is from 1917, older than original Yankee Stadium itself. The other train, a version of the “Train Of Many Colors”, is from the early 1960s, and is composed of R-33/R-36 car types in various paint schemes. This annual tradition always draws significant crowd in addition to the baseball fans attending the game.
