Proud to say that my father was a Conductor with NYCTA. I love and miss you dad.

16:48 I bet the workers building that R32 would have no idea these cars would run for almost six decades. It's amazing how everything Budd makes (R32, Hi-Level, Amfleet, Slumbercoach, Great Dome, etc.) becomes not just a classic, but an icon and legend

16:57 look how new it looks back then... 58 years later they're now gone, nothing but a memory. I can't believe these lasted even longer than any other old equipment. Godspeed you magnificent pieces of metal!

You can say all of the great things about the R211 like wifi and open gangways but you can never beat the Red Bird, it will always be the best of the NYC Subway.

My father works with MTA on Metro-North's Hudson Line as an electrician and was there when the P32AC-DM number 222 derailed and helped with getting it back in service.

Some real Transit vets and pros in this solid documentary.

I grew up in New York City. My fondest memories are of the IRT Lo-V subway cars. I am more familiar with the Lexington Ave live. Especially the Lexington Ave express from 125th Street to 42nd Street. The sound that they made as they picked up speed. I went to high school in Manhattan and would wait for a Lo-V when they began to switch over to the newer subway cars. This presentation was excellent.

How can you leave out the BMT Standard? Also, the R40 deserves a mention for slanted end fiasco.

I'm glad that the R32 & the R42 had both retired for good last year because they both are too old for service. Also the R110A & R110B discontinued due to some low ridership, back in the 1990s and the early to mid-2000s, the Redbirds had retired and one more thing, the R38 & the R40 are both retired because they both are too old for ridership and it will make that closing doors sound like the R44, R46, R68, R68A, R143, R160A, R160A-1, R160B, R179, R179-1 and coming soon, the R211, starting next year

City hall to Harlem 15 minutes wha

How well I remember, especially the above-ground 72st IRT station, as I lived at 70th and West End Ave. with my parents in 1963.. What a coincidence that the last seconds of this film has Ms. Simon standing right in front of it !!! Man O man did me and my buddies go places in NYC, beginning at this very token booth !!!

I love it

Nice subway cars

I hope this movie would be extended to include some more rolling stock such as the R32, R38, R40, R40S, and the R42 cars. There is plenty of rolling stock that meets the eye. Those who work for Car Equipment Department (CED), previously known as "Car Maintenance," or "Cars and Shops," are my posse.

Meanwhile we now have the R211s coming in. How time flies.

HELLO STAN AND JACK. IT'S GREAT TO SEE THE BOTH OF YOU AGAIN; JOHN R. I OPERATED ALL OF THE TRAINS IN THE MUSEUM EXCEPT THE GATE CARS. THE R32 CARS WERE THE ABSOLUTE BEST HANDLING, ESPECIALLY IN BRAKING, AND THE R10 CARS WERE 2ND BEST, IN MY OPINION. THE Q CARS WERE THE WORST DUE TO OLD TECHNOLOGY. BUT I DID MANAGE TO RIDE, AS A PASSENGER, ON THE LAST Q CAR TRAIN IN PASSENGER SERVICE FROM JAY ST, TO METROPOLITAN AVE. THE R44 CARS WERE THE ABSOLUTE WORST DISASTER TO HIT NEW YORK CITY. NOBODY, INCLUDING CAR EQUIPMENT, KNEW HOW THEY WORKED. THEN, BECAUSE OF CRACKS IN THE UNDERCARRIAGES, ALL R44 CARS WERE REMOVED FROM SERVICE AND REPLACED WITH OLD R9 CARS UNTIL THEY WERE TOTALLY REMODELED.

Finally

City hall station 1904 to 1945 RIP

Never mentioned the R40 Slants and R42/42M

R-44 mta subway 1971-2010 SIR 1971-2021

R11+200=r211 will run on the second avenue subway with phase three and four with revival of T train from the 1970s.

They missed talking about the camelback roof on the newer cars that started with the R17 and has continued to this day.

21:37 Hm the r142 were first delivered with the rudder window rim cab storm door Plus what the Freaking there a "R142S" I know the R142 an R142A but not the r142S

The original cars had sides made of wood. That they covered in metal. That they etched to look like wood. -_-

Low-v car yay

They left out the R 15 , R 27 , R 40 / R 40 M & R 42. Otherwise it was a good documentary.

this recording was produced around the time I stopped visiting there because of its abominably vanilla sanitisation

R142/R142A are my favorites :).

The worst ever was the R44 Hydraulic cars/train they ran on the A and D lines. They made no noise when the motorman release the brakes to move forward, as oppose to the non hydraulic version that would ex-spell aloud bow before moving. As bad as the non hydraulic was, the hydraulic was even more unreliable. It would lay down anytime at the blink of an eye.

Well, I disagree with the narrator saying it put NYC on the map as being it's first great public work. The Brooklyn Bridge and the aquaduct pre-date the IRT and they were remarkable achievements.

16:56 untillllll now

R-4 train

Green hornet

R32s are now 47 years old

Blue (S)=rockaway (S)

Bluebirds were 1930s Art Deco

This a lie, the London Subway ( Underground) is much older. They first started to run in 1862 powered by steam trains. In 1890 electric trains were introduced. The subway tracks in London run much deeper underground. By 1863 the subway system in London was opened to the public, Londoners used the subway to travel to and from work and social events. In 1863 America was still fighting a civil war.

R 142 S?
