The new York transit Museum is located in the very for him a suitable place – the former metro Court street in Brooklyn. The entrance to it is usual unassuming subway stairs: a few steps down, and tourists in the Museum.

"Court street" was built in 1936 and abandoned ten years later: by this time the train went through it in transit. In the sixties he shot fighters and detectives. The Museum at the former station was opened on the 200th anniversary of the USA, in 1976. First put the old subway cars. After the celebration of the exhibition wanted to close, but it proved so popular that it was retained as a Museum.

Exhibited here subway cars and Railways, buses, cars, repair, and construction machinery, models of bridges and tunnels, vintage signs and advertising samples, tools, uniforms and transportation officials, vending machines for fare payment and much more. In addition, there are on vintage buses and subway trains (a train "Nostalgia" tours in new York.

The Museum is housed on two levels. Top – exhibitions with frequently changing exhibits, a cinema room, a dining room for visitors. On the bottom – a permanent exhibition with subway cars, various underground equipment, a fully equipped control room. The interiors of vintage cars made in the spirit of epochs: hangin genuine posters and advertisements.

Some of the exhibits are absolutely unique. Curious to see the "Money train", which was used in the new York subway for the collection of daily revenue. The train carriages were armored, the Windows are locked from the inside with steel plates. The yellow train with black slanting stripes looks no different from the repair composition. Twelve collectors and shift leader wore bulletproof vests. The train toured the station, collectors were collecting bags of cash and took them to the station "j street", where a special "cash room" revenue counted.

Once a year the Museum holds a street exhibition of old buses and maintenance vehicles. Here you can see, for example, "mobile road repairman" – finding a hole on the road, it blows compressed air from stones and dirt, falls asleep asphalt-gravel mixture and pouring of hot asphalt. The driver did not even out of the cab. Another miracle – the "Tunnel monster" for emergency evacuation of vehicles from the new York tunnels. It is almost square and can be deployed at the narrowest point. And a special towing vehicle is a tow truck for buses are able to quickly vacate the street from the emergency bus.

The Museum is a remarkable fact that almost all are allowed to touch, twist, twirl. You can sit in this cabin trolley. You can climb to the second floor double-Decker bus. And you can try on the weight of the loaded stones car – carrying workers, who built the first new York subway.
