For a one time trip 1930s subway cars were returned to service to commemorate the reopening of tracks in Queens that were damaged by Sandy.

The Associated Press reported that the cars which have been in storage, were pulled out for a trip Thursday on Queens 3.7 mile subway track.

"Straphangers who just happened to be in the right place at the right time snapped pictures on their iPhones and gawked at the old-timey ads for Clark bars and Levy's Rye Bread adorning the walls of the train running on the A line.

One ad hawked Goldenberg's Peanut Chews. Another promoted a special Coney Island fireworks show on 'Saturday Nite,' reported the AP.

Ken Perl, a Brooklyn native who road the trains in the 1950s said "This old train brings back a lot of memories. When I rode this train in the 1950s, I was 4 or 5," he said to the AP.

"To see these old seats, I just can't believe it," he added to the AP.

The trains were from the years 1930-1939 and there were eight in total running. They ran on the old Independent Subway System, or IND line, when the city's subway was made up of three different agencies. The IND line was where lettered subways ran.

"It looks like they stole it from the museum," said college student Evin Ye, 20 to the AP."It was very cool. Everyone was taking pictures."

The trains were running for regular passenger service on Thursday from Beach 116th Street in Queens to 168th Street in Manhattan and making a run to the Rockaways between Howard Beach and Broad Channel. The AP reported that the MTA has spent more than $75 million to restore subway service to the Rockaways after Sandy.

"I rode these trains way back when," added Perl to the AP. "And it still goes damn good."
