New York Transit Museum#HappyPassover and #ChagSameach to all who celebrate from the #NYTransitMuseum! Passover begins tonight. These closeups of subway station interiors from #NYTMCollection photographs show a variety of kosher products advertised in the #NYCsubway in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s.
🎭 Happy #WorldTheatreDay! This 1977 #NYCsubway poster from the #NYTMCollection shows a dozen actors from concurrent Broadway shows posing together in costume. The group is photographed on an R44 subway car for the "MTA gets you there" campaign. It's a star-studded line up. Can you name the actors?
#TodayinHistory: It’s Tunnel Day! #OnThisDay in 1900, Mayor Robert Van Wyck, silver spade in hand, broke ground on the #NYCsubway system at an excavation site in front of City Hall. This #NYTMCollection photograph captured the historic moment for #NYC.
#TodayInHistory: #OnThisDay in 1968, the R40 Slant made its debut in the #NYCsubway system, beginning on the F line. This 1966 artist's rendering from the #NYTMCollection was issued by industrial designers Raymond Loewy and Associates, and William Snaith, Inc to showcase the "new look" of the R40.
From the #NYTMCollection, this spring-loaded token case dates to circa 1960 and has three slots to hold #NYCsubway tokens. By 2003, when tokens were phased out, cases such as this one would no longer be an essential for commuters. Did you ever own a token holder?
