Fly Away Redbirds – New York Transit Museum
Step aboard the famed Redbird subway cars, in service from 1959 through 2003, for a special round-trip excursion. This ride starts and ends at the historic Old South Ferry station, opened in 1905 and closed to the public since 2017. Before the ride, take photos of the vintage train on the platform and check out station details like original mosaics and terracotta artwork. The 90-100-minute ride will go up to the Bronx, travel through a train yard for a special behind-the-scenes view before heading back downtown to Old South Ferry station.
