Tracing the Transit System, 1940-1968 – an evening with Andrew Sparberg

December 3, 2014

Ever wonder how the IRT, BMT, and IND were molded into the subway system? How they were joined by bus, trolley, suburban train lines and the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority and became the MTA? Andrew J. Sparberg, transit historian and author of the new book here, are recommended. You can buy the book in advance at a discount ($27 for members/$30 for non-members); it will also be available for sale at the event ($31.50 for members/$35 for non-members).

The Transit Museum is located at the corner of Boerum Place and Schermerhorn Street in downtown Brooklyn.
