Vintage Subway Photos That Will Make You Feel The Rush Of Living In A Different Era
All The Vintage Feels, Brooklyn – 1999
Vintage subway cars may be a thing of the past, but occasionally, they time travel to entertain guests. New York City allows riders to see carriages from the ’30s to ’70s during the holidays like a tradition. Some staffers don period costumes to blend with the vintage cars’ interior, like these two, prompting a sense of nostalgia. Passengers can book a ticket to these retro trains.
An impressive vintage fact is that the late musician Billy Strayhorn composed Take the ‘A’ Train after being given directions to ride the subway onto Duke Ellington’s home. The instructions began with the song’s title, which ultimately became Ellington and his orchestra’s signature tune.
