Guest Cars
July 2007 – December 2007
New York Transit Museum, Brooklyn Heights
Each season, the Transit Museum displays a “guest” car, highlighting vintage and current vehicles that aren’t normally included in our permanent exhibit. This summer a pair of cars from one of the last Money Trains will be on display in the Transit Museum. These cars ran throughout the system at night collecting revenue from stations and delivering it to the “Money Room” formerly at Jay Street in Brooklyn. As a preview for “Show Me the Money,” a new exhibit opening this fall about NYC Transit’s legendary Money Room and Money Train operations (which ended in January 2006), Revenue Cars 0R 714 and IR 714 will be on view. These two workhorses were originally R-22 passenger cars 7194 and 7422, built in 1957-58. They were converted in 1988-as a collection car and a crew car-repainted in typical work train “safety” yellow and black, and operated in revenue-collection service through their final trips.
