Description: In 1976, as part of America's bicentennial celebration, the New York Transit Museum was born, after a temporary exhibit was proposed by city transit employees. The museum was set up in a decommissioned 1936 subway station in Brooklyn, where it still stands today. As part of the 50th anniversary, the Museum has organized special programming, including a family fundraiser, a parade of trains, and anniversary shuttle rides. Museum director Regina Shepherd reflects on 50 years of the Transit Museum. Photo courtesy of The New York Transit Museum Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
