The Corona Yard is the home yard of the 7 train, a subway route that rides along one of the most diverse stretches of New York City. Dating back to 1928, the Corona Yard operates 24/7 to inspect, repair, and wash a formidable fleet of R188 subway cars used on the 7 train subway route. It is located in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park near Citi Field, the National Tennis Center, and the site of the 1939 and 1964 World's Fairs. Raymond DelValle, General Superintendent, leads this members-only behind-the-scenes look at the people and machinery that keep our trains on the go.
Tickets are $50 for museum members only, and will be available at 10:00 am on Wednesday, August 14th.
