Which New York City Subway station now houses the New York Transit Museum?

The New York Transit Museum is housed in the former Court Street station in Brooklyn.

Court Street was built as a terminal for the IND Fulton Street Line’s local service and opened in 1936. The station was not heavily used, partly because it was close to other downtown Brooklyn stations and did not provide a through route. Passenger service ended in 1946, but the station remained useful for training and for filming.

In 1976, the New York Transit Museum opened inside the abandoned station. Its exhibits cover New York’s subways, buses, commuter railroads, bridges, tunnels, and other forms of transportation. The museum uses the station’s platforms and track areas to display historic subway cars.

Court Street is sometimes mistaken for Hoyt–Schermerhorn Streets, which is nearby and has also appeared in films. The museum’s entrance, however, is at Court Street, making the former terminal one of the most recognizable preserved spaces in the subway system.
