Councilman Eric Ulrich will join the NYC Transit Museum Today for a ride on a vintage subway car round-trip between Beach 116th Street and Rockaway Boulevard.
The ride will feature both BMT Standard cars and D-Type Triplex cars. The BMT Standard cars were in service from 1916 to 1969 and featured larger windows, brighter lighting and center doors. The 134 foot-long "Triplex" cars were ordered in 1924 and featured an enclosed passageway between cars.
