Fun Fact: R62A's on the 7 and R142A's on the 6 were supposed to temporary swaps and R62A's were originally gonna go back to the Pelham line shortly after the redbirds retire because R142A's were supposed to be converted into R188's shortly after redbirds Retire but the R188's conversion for CBTC was pushed back to 2009 and was pushed back again to 2013

R142A 6 Trains are legends and are forever the best memories which will never be forgotten but alive in spirit (R142A 6 will always be in our hearts)

The nostalgia when I used to ride the 6 train in 2010, they were full of R142A's on that line.

I miss riding the r142a on the 6.

I remember seeing these sets in the early to mid 2000's. The R62A's were also on the 6 line shortly before R142A's arrived in the late 90's to the very early 2000's, and then transferred to the 7 line. R62A's returned back to the 6 line as early as 2013 when the swap began to convert R142A's to R188's for CBTC. It was cool seeing these run on the express track between Hunts Point Avenue and Parkchester-East 177th street at 45-50mph during the peak rush hours.

R142A on the 6 line is still a legendary. I'll never forget!

The R142A 6 train was the first line and train type since birth I wasn't a huge fan on them but looking at it this was my line and train childhood and I respect R142A on the 6 and I do miss them and please stop hating on the R62A these trains are fantastic and is doing well on the 6 its just the biases that people have with it I'm usually not biased and I think these two train types are both great on the Pelham Line

The legends of NYC: R142A 6 train

Must respect R142A (6) {6} ✊🏻

They had really cool announcements for the ⑥ that were really unique

Aah man my child hood and teen years when the R142as ran the 6 line back then.

Me just listening to music while watching this new video on KZfaq is perfect.

I miss seeing the R142A’s running on the 6. It’s just not the same with the R62A’s taking their place on the line. I hope one day when the R262’s are delivered, the R142A’s on the 4 can be fully transferred to the 6 so it can be in its full glory again. In my opinion, the 4 should run with R142’s and R262’s, and maybe share some with the 3 (which is most likely destined to use R262’s anyway, along with the 1) during rush hours. I know it won’t be until a couple years in the future (sometime between 2025-2030 to be exact) when the R262’s are delivered, but still…

God I needed this video so much. Right on time too, today's my birthday so.. I'm pretty glad this video got uploaded!

I miss the r142a on the 6 line I remember when they first started running on the 6 line in 2000 . I just wish mta would kept them on the 6 line now we are stuck with the r62 for long long time so sad

I remember taking one R142 6 train to Grand Central. When I was going back, the train I took was a R62.... It was a loud, noisy, and bumpy ride. It was a fun experience though! Miss the R142s on the 6 too!!

“This a Manhattan Bound, 6 Local Train. The next stop is Hunts Point Avenue.” I miss hearing that so much. Now it’s just “6 local next jsjsisososkwisks” old mics

R.I.P R142A (6) Trains... Bring Them Back!!!

I used to see those on the 6 I once rode on the on the 6 I will never forget that ride

A relic of the past

I don't actually miss this lmao. Never liked r142as on the 6, I always felt like that they didn't belong in lexington for some reason

Miss seeing these

These are childhood memories rest in peace

I love you R142a 6 Train, Remember that one of your buddies caught on fire, it was on car #7551

The looks cool on an R142A

Glorious

RIP R142A 6 Trains

7:51 I MISS THAT ANNOUNCEMENT!

I remember I was in New York in 2011 and rode on the 5 and 6 lines in R62As and R142/As, I had also rode on the Q and N lines in R160/As.

Boy, I miss having these trains on this subway line. R.I.P R142A 6 trains 2000-2018. Now the older R142As are R188s on the 7 while the newer R142As are only being used on the 4 line. I even miss the R62A 7 trains as well.

I Love the R142As they alongside the R188s are my number 1 favorites it was fun having the R142As on the 6 while it lasted but I'm Enjoying the R142A Converts and R188s way too much same with the R142As. Its hard to believe that some of the R142A Converts now particularly the ones in the 72 & 73 series are 20 years old. I'm happy remaining R142As that stayed behind 7591 - 7655 got reassigned to Jerome Yard on the 4 line to join R142As 7656 - 7810 for better maintenance

I only remembered the Parkchester bound 6 trains to have the R142A trains, I really hope the 6 get a new train.

Ahhh this is giving me nostalgia I lived on the 6 line my whole life

This was my childhood man

R.I.P. R142A 6 Train

That was POGGERS

Nice!

Memories

Sees first half of title: Welcome back. Sees parenthesis. Remembers a better time.

Growing up for me (in the 90’s) all I knew was the (6) had the R33-R36 ML and the R62a’s. The (5) had all Redbirds and the (4) was a mix of Redbirds and R62’s. So when the Lex became all R142-142a’s I was happy. The 142a’s just fit perfectly for the (6). Can’t wait for the 262’s to ride the Pelham line.

GREAT

Why did the remaining R142As on the 6 line have to go to the 4 line. The MTA should have just kept those remaining R142As on the 6 line and moved Jerome’s R142As there as well so that the 6 could be a mix of R142A and R62A trains and the rest of the 7 line’s R62As would have gone to the 4 train. At least there’s a possibility of them coming back when the R262 trains arrive, knowing that the express lines (2, 3, 4 and 5 lines) might need them more. Just because the 1, 3 and 6 lines have the R62 and R62A trains doesn’t mean the R262s would solely be for those lines- it’s just like the N/Q/W lines and the R211 trains. But we’ll just have to see what the MTA does when the time comes. The MTA might make the 6 line a mix of R142As and R262s, who knows?

All remaining R142A 220 cars were installed new door motor just like R188 except door chime it will be remain old door chime just like R142 and R179.

The Nostalgia is killing me lol

i miss this type of 6 train cars

All of them were moved to the 7 and 4 lines 😭😭, some were turned into r188s, now the 6 train has the crappy old r62As from the 7 line, i can't wait till they're scraped and replaced by the r262s.

recently on july 4th, i saw an R142A 6 train

We still remember you R142A 6 train 😕

RIP R142A 6 Train

R.I.P R142A 6 trains (Side note, I haven't seen a R142A ever since it got removed from the 6 line)

I miss it I grew up there

My childhood

Had a dream last night about the R188s running on the 1, 3, and 6 lines!

i first ride the r142a 6 train in august 2010

R.I.P R142A's on the 6....

from brooklyn bridge to pelham bay park

I want the R142a on the 6 back!!

Cool

You can tell how old these videos are because of how dull the colors are. Like damn cameras have come a long way man!

I ride on one of those back then

4:19 Some random girl hanging on to the bar

Miss these on the (6), R62A (6) ain’t as good :(

"This is a Pelham Bay park bound 6 local train the next stop is 59 street"

The R142/As are the trains that are starting to get old in age but they don’t feel like it

Honestly, the mta should've gave the 4 r62as and the 6 should keep there r142as

R142A 6 train removed from the 6 line are they still running

Like:R142A 6 Train(2000s-2010s)[1999-2018;2019;2020;2021(on the 4{R142A} and 7{R188})] Comment: Blended R62A R142 and R142A 6 Train(1970-Present{2021})

Once I saw an R68 with a 6 rollsign. I still don't know how that happened - it was supposed to be a D

Rip diamond .

Jerome Yard R142A set 7676 - 7680 interestingly made an appearance I wonder what that set is doing on the 6 at the time when its assigned to the 4

🎉cool

i remember getting on an r62a 6 train in between 2017-2018 and seeing an r188 on the other platform. was i imagining it?

Aww I miss them on my line :(

I can tell because there was no W train at that time

I find the 6 train useless now for using R62 and R62a but the R142a on the 6 train will be legendary in our hearts. RIP R142a 6 trains 2007-2013

The 6 line had r142a from 2000

The R142A has the same acceleration as the R188

15:03 More Cam Problems :(

380 cars converted into R188 and 220 cars R142A remain unconverted.

The fleet numbers in the R142A 6 Train is only 7211 to 7500

I took this when I was a kid 100s of times I’m almost 14 so yeah

I like railways

Hopefully, the R262 will appear on the 6 first.

I don’t know after the r62a will retire maybe they will get r262s or maybe order new r142as or permanently use them from 4 to 6

Don't worry it's coming back

Any update for new cars for the 6? Just curious!

Yay nastoliga

Wow. The memories. But the R62As run better on them.

I think I found the thumbnail of this video if you go to 2:19 and pause the video it looks like the thumbnail!

😭😭 R142A 6

This is DJ Hammers Trains newest video so I’m going to ask have you ever caught red birds on the six

😍

Abby Hatcher driving on the R142A 6 Train

I used to love seeing these trains running on the (6). It's a shame that they had to be transferred over to the (7).

**Laughs in R62A**

10:39 Cam Problems

but when you close your eyes...😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Honestly I miss them being on the 6 and at first I hated when they took away a majority of the R142As fleets off the line to give to the 7 line and the mta decided to take the remaining sets and give it to the 4 train. At first I hated the R62As sets being on the 6 train now, but let’s be real: them cars been very well maintained at the Westchester Yard honestly. Them r142A sets on the 4 train look horrible and dirty as hell on the outside.

Is that in the bronx

What do you mean I rided this in 2018 on 6 line
