From LIC Post:The MTA is running vintage subway trains every Sunday from Queens Plaza.
The trains provide passengers with a feel of what it was like traveling the subways of yesteryear. The trains include advertisements from years ago and include straphangers. There are signs explaining the history of the cars.
Riders have the option to take the whole ride (a half hour or so, from Queens to Manhattan), or just hop on and off. Some enthusiasts dress up in clothes from the 1930s.
Departures from Queens Plaza are at:
10:44 AM, 12:14 PM, 1:43 PM, 3:14 PM, and 4:44 PM on Sundays through December 30.

Did they put the price back to a nickel also?
It would really be useful if you might be able to post (in the comments if necessary) what the train departure times are at the
2nd Ave station, for the ride the other way back to Queens Plaza.
I did an MTA search, and couldn't find a link for this. Thanks
A friend of mine works at the Coney Island yards restoring these trains, I asked him via Skype.

The trains are to have only 1 stop in Queens at the first switchback.
