Every year, the MTA makes us smile with its Holiday Nostalgia train which rides the tracks every Sunday from November 30 through December 28 from 10 AM to 4 PM.

Gothamist reported on this year’s 2nd annual Tea Party in the Nostalgia Train.

Here is the official message about the Nostalgia Train from the MTA’s website:

“To celebrate the holiday season, customers using the 6 Avenue line between the Queens Plaza and Lower East Side 2 Av stations have a treat in store. MTA New York City Transit’s “Nostalgia Train” is running every Sunday, November 30, and every Sunday in December!

With a little bit of luck and good timing, you can catch a ride on this classic subway car at stations along the V line between Queens Plaza and 2 Avenue.
