Last stop after Coney Island.

This car ran from about 1931-1977.

My visit to Coney Island included a ride on a moving museum: The history train started at the NY Transit Museum in Brooklyn, then took everyone out on an excursion onto the elevated tracks in Queens before shifting onto the F line and out to Coney Island. The return went via the N line to downtown Brooklyn, then via the A line all the way to Washington Heights. It dropped me off a couple of blocks from home. Kind of like my own special train.
