#NYCSubway
🍫 #DidYouKnow that #NYCsubway stations used to have thousands of vending machines? In fact, New York's transit system is the first place in the US where vending machines were introduced! Vending machines first appeared on elevated train platforms in the 1880s.

This 1930 #NYTMCollection photo shows eight men standing in front of one of the first R1 #NYCsubway cars (car #107) at the 207th Street Yard. The R1s, nicknamed “City Cars,” were manufactured by the American Car and Foundry Company. R1s were all arranged as single units and numbered 100 through 399.

These mosaics are part of "Westside Views," a collection of 37 artworks at the 86th Street #NYCSubway station. Celebrated Nuyorican artist Nitza Tufiño directed the 1989 project, and it was one of the earliest site-specific art installations commissioned by MTA Arts & Design.

#TodayinHistory: #OnThisDay in 1955, R17 cars entered service in the #NYCsubway system. Nearly identical to the R16 models placed in service on the BMT division the year before, the R17 was an economical purchase – interchangeability of parts between models saved greatly on repair and maintenance.

“Working the A Train” (1981) took a behind-the-scenes look at the #NYCsubway system and showcased the work involved in running the city’s longest train line. At one time, the film played in the gallery of the New York State Museum, accompanying the exhibit of its R9 subway car #1801.

#MysteryMonday: What do diamonds mean in the #NYCsubway? In use since the 1980s, the diamond route indicator is generally used to show that a train route’s service has been modified; regular service is marked with a circle.

You'll see the Museum’s collection of Lionel model trains, including Metro-North, Polar Express, and vintage #NYCsubway cars. The trains have realistic lights and sounds! You'll also encounter dozens of tiny pedestrians, buses, and cars on exquisitely-detailed miniature streets.
