Though train travel is more advanced than ever before — the **fastest train in the country** will launch from NYC this August — there’s something charming about stepping into the New York City of yesteryear. If you’re looking for an escape from the city without actually leaving it, we suggest purchasing a ticket. Trust us, the fall offering will make you feel worlds away. How to hop aboard fall nostalgia train rides -------------------------------------------- On Saturday, October 4th, WWI-era IRT Lo-V subway cars will depart from the Old South Ferry Station at noon and work their way up to Woodlawn Cemetery , a historic landmark founded in 1863 with roots from the industrial age to present day. Coined by the National Parks Service as “a popular final resting place for the famous and powerful”, the 400-acre space is a fantastic mix of Gilded Age architecture and gorgeous greenery. Once there, visitors will hop off the train for a two-hour tour on the grounds’ history, architecture, and most notable resting places. Attendees are encouraged to bring a bagged lunch. The group will depart around 4pm return to the Old South Ferry Station roughly around 5pm. Keep in mind, transit enthusiasts and history buffs 15 and under need adult accompaniment. While tickets are currently on sale for NYTM members, they will go on sale to the general public on August 20th via the **New York Transit Museum website**. Do keep in mind, the nostalgia take off rain or shine and might be subject to time changes as the event gets closer. Don’t forget to explore all of the **fall nostalgia tours** available through the museum. Plus, you can switch gears (transit pun!) and check out the fleet of rare buses during the museum’s **2025 Bus Festival**. Where will we find you this fall? You can catch us on the IRT Lo-V! 🗓️ Saturday, October 4th ⏰ 12-5pm 📍 Old South Ferry Station 💵 $60 adults, $40 children Source: https://secretnyc.co/new-york-transit-museum-fall-nostalgia-rides-woodlawn-cemetery/
