St Louis Car 09 Posted March 2, 2010 Share #6 Posted March 2, 2010 Do they have tours at coney island shops and 207th street? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted March 2, 2010 Share #7 Posted March 2, 2010 The website's list of events still lists it as active: http://www.mta.info/mta/museum/programs.htm Never mind, I confused it with the other tours that are sold out. I think they have over done Corona Shop though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share #8 Posted March 2, 2010 Do they have tours at coney island shops and 207th street? I don't know if they have ever done a tour of Coney Island. 207th Street, yes. There was one in August, and they ran the Arnines in non-revenue service from the museum to Euclid Avenue, then to 207th Street. Never mind, I confused it with the other tours that are sold out. I think they have over done Corona Shop though. No problem. Corona Yard is something I'd like to take a peek at though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been to both yards so many times that it's like going to the corner store now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubwayGuy Posted March 2, 2010 Share #17 Posted March 2, 2010 I think this one is already sold out. It is usually a good tour too. I think there are a couple of spots left. However most if not all of the other tours have sold out. Forget about Westchester Yd. They could run the tour 3 times and still have a waiting list!

There was one in August, and they ran the Arnines in non-revenue service from the museum to Euclid Avenue, then to 207th Street. No problem. Corona Yard is something I'd like to take a peek at though. Sure they do. 207th they did in August 2009 as part of the Arnine nostalgia train. Because of the number of people, however, it was slightly different than most museum tours because there was less opportunity for visitors to ask questions at each area although a few did. They've done Coney Island a number of times. The last time was August 2008. Yeah, sold out, but i didnt want to go. Remember i posted it at FB back in dec be4 ta? It said no photography, so i said no thx! But it sold out real fast that week with the Pelham version leaving Corona stuck! I will how ever, get to the TOMC one when it comes out for summer ! All TA facility tours are given with the permission of the facilities in question, so whatever they say goes. If they say no photography, no photography. If they say no open toed shoes or sneakers, then that's the rule and you wear boots. In the case of Linden, there was some confusion about what was allowed, but those that went were ultimately allowed to take pictures. Like everything else in TA, even certain parts of museum tours and fantrips are "subject to change" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted March 2, 2010 Share #19 Posted March 2, 2010 No, photography was allowed on the trip to Linden Shop that just passed, the one you decided not to go on. Well i have the the mailed copy of the calendar which stated photography wasn't allowed, but i guess the rules changed for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
