Revisiting the original 1964 - R32 Subway car Delivery locations in 2023.

The R32 Subway car was contracted by the New York City Transit Authority in 1963 and built by the Budd Company of Philadelphia Pennsylvania in 1964.
I thought it would be interesting to revisit the original R32 delivery locations before they are completely unrecognizable - almost 60 years later.

Very cool video. Glad that the Transit Museum preserved a full 10-car train!

Gonna make an effort to visit the Long Island City Waterfront sometime soon. It would be fun to imagine seeing the R32's barge pull in!

It's really nice. The entire waterfront is all parks now. I'd recommend visiting during weekday rush hours as you can see some LIRR action at LIC one block over from the waterfront.

Wonder why the 65th Street Yard /Greenville Float weren't used.

At the 2:47 mark you also see the then new Worlds Fair cars on the #7 line.

Many many R32's were dumped into the Atlantic Ocean to create artificial reefs (aka fish condo's) so that smaller fishes have shelters to escape from the bigger fishes down there as well.
