In 1917 the New York Yankees were a 15-year-old franchise, playing home games at the Polo Grounds until 1922, and fans would have taken a train or subway car very much like this nostalgia train to games in those days.
The Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) also announced the return of Yankee Clipper Trains for 2026 season. Metro-North Yankee Clippers offer direct service to Yankee Stadium on Hudson, Harlem, and New Haven Lines for most games; Several Hudson Line Trains make additional stop at Yankee Stadium during game days.
