Review:
The New York Transit Museum is a nonprofit museum organization founded in 1976 in Brooklyn to preserve the stories and technologies related to the development of mass transit throughout New York City and the world, including the development of the city's iconic rapid transit subway system. Though the museum's original Brooklyn location charges admission fees, it offers an annex outpost within Manhattan's Grand Central Terminal, open to the public for free seven days a week, with the exception of major national holidays. In addition to regular exhibits, the annex is known for its annual Holiday Train Show, which features displays of Lionel trains on a replica model train layout.
