Each trip will be approximately 10 minutes and riders can expect wait times between rides. Trains run continuously from Brighton Beach to Kings Highway and back. Passengers may only board at Brighton Beach and Kings Highway. All boarding and exiting trains at Brighton Beach will take place on the interior two platforms. All boarding and exiting trains at Kings Highway will be on the Manhattan-bound platform.

Parade of Trains happens rain or shine. Equipment, router, timing, and duration are subject to change.

Restrooms are not available on the trains. While some vintage cars are air-conditioned, many are not.

Your safety is important to us!

• Please walk carefully on platforms and stay behind the yellow line. Do not sit directly on the platform.
• Please keep arms, hands and cameras inside the train. Walking between train cars is not allowed.
• The first car of the train is a magical place for everyone. Please consider our youngest visitors and allow children to look out the front window.
• Help us preserve these vintage cars for future generations! Do not eat or drink while on board and leave all original elements where they belong.

Kings Highway is an ADA-accessible station with an elevator to the Manhattan-bound platform located on the south side of Kings Highway, west of 16th Street. Please check The MTA App and visit the MTA’s Elevator and Escalator Status page before you travel for real-time elevator status information. The elevator for Kings Highway station is located between 15th Street and 16th Street. There is no elevator at the Brighton Beach station. Most but not all of the vintage train cars are wheelchair accessible. The BU Gate Cars, for example, have a significant step up from the platform.
