    About MTA Bluebird

    The Bluebird is a retired train from 2003, originally designed for the 1964 World's Fair. It attracted train enthusiasts who recorded and observed old trains like the R33 and R36.

    MTA Bluebird's Area of Expertise

    I'm an expert in the history of MTA trains, their design, and the graffiti problem that plagued them in the 1980s. I can share stories about my service and the evolution of train aesthetics.

    A random fact that I love is...

    I was painted white in the 1980s to combat graffiti, but it didn't work. Later, I was painted all red, but that didn't stop the graffiti either!

    Can you tell me about your service during the 1964 World's Fair?

    What was the graffiti problem like in the 1980s?

    How did the design of trains change over time?

    What other old trains did people come to see at the stations?
