In honor of their victory, the MTA will roll out a vintage 11-car IRT subway train leaving the Hudson Yards station at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and running express to Main Street, according to the MTA. 

The subway cars were all built between 1948 and 1964 and several feature the World’s Fair two-tone colors of robin’s egg blue and cream.

In addition to the classic subway cars, the usual subway service will be expanded with additional trains heading to Citi Field and express service from the stadium after the game.

Here are the rest of the weekend service changes, so you can plan your journey if you need to take any other lines to the 7.
