Description: The Nostalgia Train pulls out of the Fifth Avenue/53rd Street Station going back to 2nd Avenue-Lower Manhattan, after a straggling subway buff takes a picture and scurries back onto the train. The Nostalgia Train, ran from December 2nd to December 30th (every Sunday of the month), between Queens Plaza and 2nd Avenue-Lower Manhattan, via the V Line. The consist for the Nostalgia Train today was Car 100 on the Queens-bound end, 481 (R4), 1575 (R7A/R10 prototype), 381 (R1), 402 (R1), and 1802 (R9) on the Manhattan-bound end. The motormen were Derek Sherry, who was working 1802, and a replacement motorman on Car 100, named Tyrone, who was taking the place of the regular motorman Steven Davis, who happened to be on vacation that weekend (he showed up later in the day with his son and took a few rides). After the day was done, the cars went back to the Transit Museum. The video was taken on December 30th, 2007.
