Lee in front of a #7 Red Bird
at the Transit Museum
The announcement about a new exhibit titled Navigating New York enticed us to visit the Transit Museum for the first time since June 2017. This exhibit features maps highlight the story of New York’s growth through the increasingly connected transportation system. There were historical maps of the 3 systems that were eventually consolidated to become today's subway system:
- IRT - Interborough Rapid Transit (the numbered subway lines)
- IND - Independent Line
- BMT - Brooklyn Manhattan Transit
There was another exhibit titled Underground Heroes: New York Transit In Comics.
We also went downstairs to see the vintage cars. Lee always liked the Red Birds that were used on the #7 train for many years.
