The New York City subway turned 110 years old on Monday (27).

To celebrate, Google has created a collection of images and a virtual tour of the old subway trains and station, taken from the New York Transit Museum.

From wood-paneled exteriors with ceiling fans to advertisements from the early 1900s, we’ve collected our favorite photos that show what riding the subway in 1904 would have been like.

The New York Transit Museum was actually created in a decommissioned underground station in Brooklyn.

Vintage signs from the time period are on the walls.

The wooden 1407 car was part of the BMT fleet, which operated above ground.

Instead of AC, there were wooden ceiling fans.

Car 1612 C was used to transport people to the 1939 World’s Fair, which promised visitors a look at “the world of tomorrow.”

This subway car was part of the Court Street Shuttle, which was shut down on June 1, 1946.
