A tour of the New York Transit Museum

The New York Transit Museum is housed in a disused Subway station in Brooklyn called Court Street. The station was built by the city owned IND Subway before unification of the 3 systems. The station was a dead end for local trains and was short-lived, being active for only 10 years.

The museum began occupying the station from 1976, after being abandoned for 30 years.

It contains a collection of former rolling stock on the station platform - though this is not the entire heritage fleet of the New York City Subway - as well as old signs, ticket barriers, posters and other artefacts from the subway. It also contains collections from the street transport divisions (bus & formerly streetcar).

Entrance to the station is about a 10 minute walk from the active Hoyt Schermerhorn Station (A C & G Trains).
