On the platform level, two fully powered subway tracks hold historic subway and elevated cars from the city's predecessor systems — the BMT, IRT, and IND — and most of the fleet remains operable, running the museum's ticketed Nostalgia Train excursions out on the live system. Displays range from 1904 BRT gate cars and a 1915 BRT AB Standard to Lo-V 4902 of 1916, car No. 100 of 1931 — the first of the R1-9 fleet — a 1925 BMT D-type Triplex, and a 1992 Bombardier-built R110B; the oldest locomotive in the museum fleet is SBK steeplecab No. 5 of 1910. One platform carries hinged yellow gap-filler boards so the narrower IRT cars can be boarded safely, and the station also preserves its working signal-tower control room, which once monitored the IND Fulton Street and Crosstown lines, plus a turnstile collection spanning the subway's 1904 opening through 2003 — including the double-fare turnstiles built for the 1939 World's Fair. A sizable vintage bus fleet, among it No. 3100 of 1956, the first bus in any American transportation system to be air-conditioned, is stored at depots around the city and comes out for the museum's annual Bus Festival.
