    #TokenTuesday: #ObjectSpotlight on this unusual #1970s #NYCSubway "Y" cut token from the #NYTMCollection. The "Y" on these classic tokens was supposed to be cut out between the letters "N" and "C" to spell out "NYC." The second photo shows a standard "Y" cut token.

    🎭 Happy #WorldTheatreDay! This 1977 #NYCsubway poster from the #NYTMCollection shows a dozen actors from concurrent Broadway shows posing together in costume. The group is photographed on an R44 subway car for the "MTA gets you there" campaign. It's a star-studded line up. Can you name the actors?

    RT @nytransitmuseum #WomensHistoryMonth: The first woman train operator in the #NYCsubway system was Marion McAllister. These #NYTMCollection photographs accompanied a press release from the MTA announcing McAllister’s historic entry into motorman training, which would take, at minimum, 13 months.
