Holiday Happenings: Nostalgia Trains and a SAS party sponsor
ByA few brief items this afternoon relating to the holidays: Transit will again be running the Holiday Special nostalgia train this year. According to the latest on Subchat, the R1/9 set will run on Saturdays this year from Nov. 26 through Dec. 24. The trains will leave Second Ave. at 9:58 a.m., 11:37 a.m., 12:57 p.m., 2:27 p.m. and 3:57 p.m. and make local stops to Queens Plaza. Planned departure times from Queens Plaza are 10:43 a.m., 12:13 p.m., 1:42 p.m., 3:13 p.m. and 4:43 p.m. Bring a camera, of course.
Meanwhile, a reminder: My Second Ave. Sagas 5th Anniversary Soiree, planned for Thursday, December 1, is fast approaching, and I’m bring aboard a sponsor. The transit app Roadify will be sponsoring a part of the party so look for them over the next few days. To RSVP, mosey on over to the Eventbrite page. You’ll find all of the details there.
Update: Due to a few circumstances, SAS has gone dark for Thanksgiving a day or so early. I’ll be back after the holidays. Have a safe Turkey Day.

[...] Now, the weekend changes. As always, these come to me via Transit and are subject to change. Listen to on-board announcements and check signs in your local stations. Subway Weekender has the changes, and don’t forget about the Saturday Nostalgia Train rides. [...]
Is there a second source other than Subchat which repeats this? Can you find a MTA press release verifying this?
@George: The Transit Museum announced it in their weekly email blast as well. It’s been confirmed.
Ben,
Thank you for the gracious invitation however my company’s holiday gathering is the same night, and, for the moment at least, I plan on attending.
