Holiday Nostalgia subway rides return to New York City next month * Brooklyn Paper

The vintage Independent Subway System cars were built for the first subway company operated by the City of New York. Modern for their time, the R1/9s complemented the IND's Depression-era Art Deco aesthetic. With rattan seats, paddle ceiling fans, incandescent light bulbs, roll signs, and period advertisements, these are the very cars that inspired Billy Strayhorn's song, "Take the A Train."
