Description
One Last Run in 2025. Your Hands on the Controller.
Alright, rail fans, this is the one. The final Rapid Transit Guest Motorman Experience of 2025 at the Shore Line Trolley Museum. If you’ve ever dreamed of running a real subway car, not a trolley, not a simulator, but the real deal, this is your moment.
For one glorious hour, you’re the motorman.
No glass between you and the cab. You’re at the controller running a piece of New York transit history with 38 tons of steel answering your every move.Here’s what you get:
-
A quick hands-on training session from our veteran operators — enough to get you signed off for your run.
-
Full control of an authentic vintage rapid transit car on our private right-of-way.
-
Up to five friends can ride along and grab all the photos and videos you’ll want.
This isn’t a joyride. This is the closest you’ll ever get to the real thing without a union card. It’s everything you love about rapid transit, alive and under your control.
And remember: this is the last time in 2025 we’re doing this. When it’s over, the next chance is a long way down the line.
