Wings for the IRT: The Irresistable Romance of Travel was installed in Grand Army Plaza Station in 1995. The bronze and terra cotta bas relef on the mezzanine wall is modeled on the original Interborough Rapid Transit Company logo,
Flying Wheels--a subway car with wings--and references the
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Arch in the plaza above with its Winged Victories.
Grand Army Plaza Station, opened on August 23, 1920, is a local station on the IRT Eastern Parkway Line, located underneath Flatbush Avenue at its northwest intersection with Grand Army Plaza. The station is close to
Prospect Park, and is thus identified as Grand Army Plaza–Prospect Park in 2 and 3 service timetables.
