My dad was a Conductor for the NYCTA for 24 years..We would talk about the Subway cars for hours..

4:28 I remember riding this one as a test train back in the 1990s. They had an automated announcement on the train that would explain to you about the technology and the features of the train while you were riding Express between 59th Street Columbus circle and 125th Street in Harlem (For there were no local stops in between and this gave plenty of time to explain).

Nice Video 👍

8:00 their body language looks like they're about to start a rap song. 🤣

1:18 r44 use to run on the Long Island railroad

I never rode that train because I was born the year that this video was filmed

Aren't the R32 still around or no? Last time I rode subway was 3 years ago and they were still around then but idk about now

5:35 what the hell is a R142S?

Why don’t they talk about the attractive R40 cars that attracted people to get out of their cars and take the subway instead?

I like when they were paint from top to bottom with graffiti. Those were the days

like train

Thanks for posting. I never saw this before. Good to see Don Harold so well preserved!

They skipped the beautiful R-42's, the R-38's, the R40/ R40A Modified, R46 (yet it was mentioned) AND THE Westinghouse R-68's & Kawasaki R-68-A's. Hey s long as they got the 110's. Very good documentary.

What a excellent video. Thanks for the love you put into it! Looking forward to seeing more :D

I love this video and RIP 2 the trains that no longer live in the NYC subway

Very nicely done. I just wish I had seen the "slants" represented!

Bombardier used to build the number 1 IRT trains in Barre town Vermont but moved production to Plattsburgh NY putting all of its Vermont workers out of work

I really miss R110A and R110B

This video is still cool 😀👍

6:50 Anyone noticed the WMATA 6000 series cars

We're still generations behind the subways cars they have in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Tokyo.... NYC was ahead of its time 100 years ago, but through disfuncytional governments, bureaucracy, and corruption, we're still stuck with hot, piss-smelling, satan-like atmosphere in the subway. Which we still don't receive cell phone signals in and are not air conditioned. Not to mention we don't even have glass separators between the platform and subway on a single stop. But more importantly, there's still a shit ton of delays.

I am just looking for discontinued lines

besides the r160 subway cars they are making 2 new subway cars by this year

interisting series.

Do you have any idea what the R142S is supposed to be? I believe it's a variation of the bombardier R142.

They didn’t have enough time to put all the cars because the documentary was only 25 Minutes.

I loved the R32 when I was a grownup ;-) ;-) ;-)

Skipped the R38, R40/M, R42, and the R68/As.

I really hope the MTA put back the light blue r-36's. They were so bright and good looking. Of course it won't happen.

I like the R142A

Did it skip the r38?

These Trains Were "High Speed" And " High Tech". HOW FAST IS THAT TRAIN GOIN M8

The R44 looks like the R46

Me Ben Ami Love R42 And R44 Rail Cars

It ends at R160. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE R188?

I wish r110b trains werr in service.

R160A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

😢😢😢😢😢😢No more R110b i love the r110b

they just forgot the r68s

it saddens me when i see that the MTA no longer uses american companies now they rely on Alstom from France and Kawasaki from Japan. What happened to the American Spirit

The R-44's had way to many problems that is why they were retired,and scrapped.new cars are good,but I like theothers better.!Prewar.cars.!

Too much too soon the R142 / A should've been bulit by 2010 smh. And went to the 2,3,5,7 NOT THE 4 AND 6 LINES.

do they have the R38 IN THE BOOK? *COUGH* *COUGH* THIS VIDEO

nice video but why mta no longer have R110b cars on the lines

the r-68 changed little from the r-30 its design is like the r-46 but its a more simple design

What about R179

MTA MONEY TAKING AGENCY

No R143😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

this is in the past.although when they were in service some people used Graffiti on the train walls.the present is boring.
