Catch A Ride On The Nostalgia Train This December

If you’re looking for fun outside of the neighborhood this weekend, and have a young (or old) train fan in your life, be sure to catch the MTA’s Holiday Nostalgia Train, running along the M line between 2nd Avenue and Queens Plaza on Sundays (10am to 5pm) through December 22.

The cars, originally in service between the 1930s and 1970s, ran “along the lettered lines from the Grand Concourse to Coney Island,” and have everything from ceiling fans and padded seats to incandescent light bulbs and vintage advertisements.

We took our 3-year-old son for a ride last December, and he still talks about it today, so it’s definitely a great (and inexpensive…there’s no admission outside of your normal subway fare) family activity to check out this holiday season.
