BROOKLYN, N.Y. — The New York Transit Museum’s vintage subway equipment will be featured in the 2023 “Parade of Trains” operation Sept. 9-10 on the New York City Transit B/Q lines — the former BMT Brighton line.

Trains will operate from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., operating between the Brighton Beach B/Q platform and the Kings Highway Manhattan-bound B/Q platform. A number of cars from the Transit Museum collection are scheduled to take place, including R-1/9, BMT Standard, and BU Gate cars. Rides are covered by a regular subway fare.

The Kings Highway station is fully ADA accessible, and most but not all of the vintage cars are wheelchair accessible. More information is available at the Transit Museum website.
