Vintage V-Train

On every Sunday in December, New Yorkers get a chance to ride on a piece of NYC history. The V-line (which doesn't run on weekends) is lending it's tracks to antique subway cars. There is one vintage train, running from 2nd Ave (downtown Manhattan) to Queens and just goes back and forth from 10 am to 5 pm each Sunday. Ethan and I waited for an hour at the 2nd Ave stop and it was definitely worth the wait. It's not everyday you get to ride on one of these trains. (You can see them at the Transit Museum but being on a moving car is a whole different story). There were 7 or 8 different cars and you could walk to and from (kinda scary) while the train was moving. No doors in between cars! The heat worked, the ceiling fans whirled and the ads on the walls were entertaining. I put a video shot of the train leaving the Rockefeller Plaza station at the end of the post.
