The New York Transit Museum in Brooklyn is a great place to visit if you’re in New York and have a bit of an interest in old trains, mechanical things, old maps and transit memorabilia.
Located in the decommissioned Court Street subway station in Brooklyn Heights, the museum costs $6 to get in and lets you wander around old station equipment and step onto vintage cars ( ‘cars’ being what us Brits would call ‘carriages’).

I have an old sign and was wondering what it would be worth. or perhaps the museum may be interested in purchasing it. I have pictures of it and did some research and it’s the 2d ave express to no where. Would like to know more about it.
Thank You.

Okay – I’ve definitely got to go here when I’m back for a visit sometime next year.
