Phew! Luckily, I caught the station cleaner in time at 77th Street on the . I got these today

My stuff:

Still currently working on my subway timetable collection... Its taking some time

This too

Only thing I'm missing is a Bronx bus map.

The OG has them, but I've only seen them on a few of them. Otherwise, they don't have them.

For bus schedules/maps, you can get a couple on board a bus. Most of the time, the "Take One" slots on buses are filled with bus timetables. That's where I got all of mine from.

How are you supposed to get a tour of CIY without the Transit Museum sponsoring it?

You are not going to get one at a fan trip. In fact if there is one place you are virtually assured NOT to get one it's a fan trip.

 

The trips are a lot of fun, but along with the regular visitors, railfans, museum members, and curious people who just want to ride an old train for a day, they also bring out "the foam line" - so the reasons for this should be pretty obvious.

 

Best way to get one is to know someone...

Well, I said I was going on the Nostalgia ride on August 2nd, and they have included the 207th Street Yard/Shop tour. I was asking if I would get one at that yard/shop tour.

Sunday, August 2 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

NOSTALGIA RIDE: 81ST STREET-CENTRAL PARK WEST

$30, Museum members $25, Children (5 - 17) $10 including Museum admission

 

Ride the Transit Museum's vintage fleet! Enjoy exclusive access to the Museum before boarding for a trip east on the A line, terminating on Manhattan's Upper West Side, where we tour Arts for Transit's "For Want of a Nail," at the American Museum of Natural History. Walking tours of Central Park or the Museum wrap up the day. If you love trains, stay on board for an uptown trip and shop tour at 207th Street!

 

Oh, I'm going to 207th Street Shop/Yard in August for a fan trip. Do you think I would get one while I am there? I've always wanted one of those.

This question seems stupid, but how do you get an MTA New York City Transit reflective vest without being an MTA employee?
