This June marks two important anniversaries for New York’s transit system: the 75th anniversary of subway unification, and the 100th anniversary of the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT). In celebration of these milestones, the Transit Museum brings together three of the country’s top subway history and equipment experts to talk shop and answer your toughest questions. With over 100 years of combined research and expertise, our featured “buffs” include Joe Cunningham (New York Power), James Greller (Subway Cars of the BMT), and Joseph Raskin (The Routes Not Taken).
