PATH Car 143 Open to the Public – September 11, 2026

On Friday, September 11, 2026, from 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m., the Trolley Museum of New York will open PATH Car 143 to the public, free of charge, in remembrance of the 25th anniversary of 9/11.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, Car 143 was part of a PATH train that arrived at the World Trade Center shortly before 9:00 a.m. Scheduled to return to New Jersey, the train was halted when the attacks began. It remained in the station, empty, as the towers collapsed above it.

Five of the seven cars in the train were destroyed. Only Car 143 and Car 745 survived, though both were significantly damaged. Thanks to the rapid evacuation of the station, no lives were lost aboard the train or within the PATH terminal.

Today, Car 143 serves as a powerful symbol of survival and a reminder of the lives that were saved that day.

We invite you to visit Car 143 on September 11, take a moment to remember those we lost, and reflect on the events of that day and the remarkable stories of survival.

⚠️ Please note: The museum's trolley will not be operating on September 11, 2026. This special opening is specifically for visitors wishing to view Car 143 and commemorate the 25th Anniversary of 9/11.

THE STORY DIDN’T END WITH STREETCARS.
IT EVOLVED.

The removal of streetcars wasn’t the end of surface transportation—it was the beginning of its next chapter.

Our story didn’t end in 1956, when Brooklyn’s last streetcar ran. It continued.

From historic streetcars to the buses that followed, the Trolley Museum of New York preserves the continuing story of surface transportation.

Ride the history. See the evolution.

Unfortunately, due to a shortage of volunteers, the Trolley Museum of New York will not be open on Sunday, July 5. We will reopen next Saturday, and look forward to welcoming everyone back then.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. As a 100% volunteer-operated museum, there are times when we simply don’t have enough volunteers available to safely open our doors.

If you’ve ever thought about getting involved, now is the perfect time! Volunteers are the heart of everything we do, and we’d love to have you join our team. Whether you can help occasionally or on a regular basis, there’s a place for you.

Happy 50th Birthday to our friends at the New York Transit Museum!

While July 4, 1976 was the official opening date, it was on this day, July 2, 1976, that the New York City Transit Authority quietly opened the “New York Transit Exhibit” in the unused Court Street Station of the IND Fulton Street Line, which had been closed to the public since 1946.

The opening day line-up was BMT D-Type #6112, R1 #100, R4 #484, R7A #1575, R11 #8013, Lo-V trailer #4902, Lo-V motor #5466, R12 #5760, R15 #6239, R17 #6609, R30 #8506, Hopper Car H-254, South Brooklyn Railway Steeple Cab Electrics #5 and #6, and R46's #680 and #681, which were temporarily re-numbered "1776" and "1976" for the Bi-centennial.

Since 1976, the size and scope of the museum has expanded to included all of the MTA Agencies and its roster now includes dozens of additional cars.
