I took the photo in a decommissioned subway train at The New York Transit Museum in Brooklyn. The museum is on the corner of Livingston St and Boerum Pl. The easiest way to get there is by subway.
Once you're inside the museum, walk through the entrance and follow the guided path. At the "City Hall" sign, take a left toward the center of the museum. Go down the stairs and continue walking all the way down the subway cars. The decommissioned train where I took the photo will be on your left (Bus 8506, 1961).
By Subway:
- Closest Station: Borough Hall (4 or 5 Train)
- Head east on Joralemon St
- Turn right on Boerum Pl
- The museum will be on your right
Address:
New York Transit Museum, 99 Schermerhorn Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
