Each year, the New York Transit Muesum (NYTM) hosts a few Nostalgia rides featuring some of the oldest New York City Subway cars. On July 8th, 2023, the R1-9 cars ran on the Q line between 96th Street - 2 Av and Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue. At 4 PM, these trains went via the West End (D) line to the same terminal, and the trip ended.
