### 🚦 Step Back in Time Beneath the Streets of Brooklyn

Join us for an extraordinary group tour of the New York Transit Museum, located inside the historic Court Street Station, a decommissioned 1936 subway station transformed into one of New York’s hidden gems. Led by one of the museum’s expert educators, this one-hour tour will take us through the underground world of New York’s transit history — from the birth of the subway system to its modern marvels. You’ll stand on vintage platforms, step inside century-old train cars, and experience the evolution of a city that never stops moving.

### 🚋 ABOUT THE TOUR

Once home to the short-lived HH Shuttle Train, Court Street Station closed in 1946 due to low ridership — but was reborn in 1976 as the New York Transit Exhibit, now the largest museum in North America devoted to public transportation.

During this exclusive group experience, you’ll:

🚉 Step aboard vintage train cars from every decade of New York’s subway history
🕰️ Travel through time as you see the evolution of design, engineering, and everyday travel
🧭 Explore rotating exhibits that showcase how the subway transformed New York life
🎥 Learn how this once-forgotten station became a living time capsule beneath Brooklyn
