NYC Subway Lo-Vs At 161 Street-Yankee Stadium!​

Video by River Rail Photo

Nostalgia Rides For the Home Opener. On Friday, April 5, 2024, MTA NYCT Subway and NY Transit Museum operated a pair of vintage trains from 42 Street-Grand Central to 161 Street-Yankee Stadium for no additional fare. One train, the green Lo-Vs, is from 1917, older than the original Yankee Stadium itself. The other train, a version of the “Train Of Many Colors”, is from the early 1960s, and is composed of R-33/R-36 car types in various paint schemes. This annual tradition always draws significant crowd in addition to the baseball fans attending the game. After the trip from Manhattan, the trains are displayed on the middle track of the 161 Street-Yankee Stadium Station before returning to their respective yards for the day.
