From kids.kiddle.co:

* In 1980, filmmaker Bill Brand created a linear zoetrope called the "Masstransiscope" in an old subway station in New York City. It has 228 slits, and behind each is a hand-painted panel. Train riders see a motion picture as they pass by. It was fixed up in 2008 and is still there!"

Unless there's one somewhere else in our NYC subway system...
This is in Brooklyn when heading into Manhattan! Very fun! You might not even know it's there if you're either reading something, looking out the opposite window, etc.
So idk how long it took me to catch it, but then I always made sure I looked at it. 😄
Until I moved out of Brooklyn.
