To add on to the post below, there's a slideshow of some of the new 1960s-era images I've been getting off Ebay: click here for the slideshow. Also, I'm looking around for newer/better slideshow code.

Also... I guess I never put anything on the site about it but if you're looking for social media, there's a Fans of nycsubway.org group on Facebook.

Welcome to nycsubway.org - born in 1995, one of the largest New York City Subway history and fan sites on the web.

Regular visitors have probably noticed that there haven't been many updates over the past few years. Our pages about subway stations, rolling stock, and, especially, the pages about transit systems around the world, have become somewhat stale. Free (and paid) photo hosting, social media, and (especially) Wikipedia have outstripped one webmaster's ability to keep up.

The redesigned main page has links that will help you navigate nycsubway.org's content and highlight its strengths vs. what you can now find on social media sites and Wikipedia. Some other recent updates:

• Lots of new images from the 1960s and the 1980s
• Subway Art Guide revamped; now sortable by station, line, and year of installation; missing entries added (but some still need photos)
• Wind-down of the "virtual host" bus.nycsubway.org (bus content and caption database integrated with main site - see Bus Transportation)
• All content now being served SSL/https (this is why it looks like all the pages were recently updated)
• Various script/code and cosmetic fixes

And finally, if you're reading this, you know the blog is back. It was broken by a MediaWiki software update in 2017.
