Interesting history of the IND.

They very look similar to the R32's but the R38 doesent have the metal exterior

The first model to still be in service when Garfield came out.

"Sees videos online of people breaking into the abandoned Nevis Street platform" MTA: "And I took that personally".

There's something about new york city

Song name?

Great Info. Thx for posting!

MY LEAST FAVORITE PAINT SCHEME IS THE WHITE SCHEME AND MY FAVORITE PAINT SCHEME IS THE BLUE AND SILVER SCHEME

Should the MTA send the R68 rolling stock to Hornell, NY to be remanufactured by Alstom? I'm all for it.

you forgot they also replaced the bmt experimental fleet the bluebird and the muits to

I WANT A SOUTH FERRY SHUTTLE THAT GOES BTWEN BOWLING GREEN AND THE NEW SOUTH FERRY

REST IN PEACE R32 1964-2022 FAREWELL R32 YOU WILL BE MISSED

Singapore’s are worse… they scrap it and they are completely unusable… into a pile of scrap metal, including the bogies and motor.

Trying to hear/see the R-10’s doors closing again. They shut so fiercely back then. Jolting if it struck you. No one wanted to hold those doors open…lol

R44 SIR and R44 NYCT and R46 pre goh are my favorite trains

but R68As built in Kobe, Japan, then final assembly in Kawasaki Yonkers

MTA (9) Train: GONE

❤❤❤music❤❤❤

What music is this?

The r44 are over 50 years old

3 cars is to short

Chiming in after 3 years. The R-27/30 came in as Olive Drab - the IRT R21/22 was similar but I can't say they were identical. The R-17 came in a type of Maroon (reddish purple). The R-28,29,33 came in with Cherry Red (also used on a few R-10s). The white was the color that was done as an anti-graffitti statement. Some R-16 and R-27/30 cars got white, but no R-10s. Totally impractical and blinding on cloudless days it truly was a shock to see the first couple of times you saw it. Initially they were kept in solid trains. In order to declare the entire system graffiti free inside and out by May 1987 many cars about to be retired by the incoming R-62A and R68/68A fleets were repainted in green and Tuscan Red. During the transition to graffittie free, repainted and protected cars were run in solid trains. GO is not a word, it is an abbreviation for General Overhaul. Also the air-conditioning retrofit of the R-33/36 fleet began about 3 years before the first G.O. cars appeared (which was on the 7 and done in house to a lesser standard than the greater number sent out to contractors). The pilot IRT air conditioning retrofit train was done in 1975 and kept graffiti free long after the rest of the fleet was thoroughly vandalized (but not all the way to adoption of 1981 white). That train was used for special occasions, like when the Mayor, Pope or UMTA administrator needed to do a publicity ride.

Make a history video of the r16

Im will never forgot this subway :(

the r68's also had westinghouse coverters that made a strange noise but later removed after 2011

You know you are a bad photographer when you somehow take a bad photo of a R62/A 7 train

It ran for 52 years

It really makes you think "Did they even care?" "Tossed to the side left to rot" "Like a child getting a new toy, something is gonna get left behind and forgotten"

Abandoned Nevins Street 😮😮😮

Nice work brother 👏 👌 👍 💪 I know path train are very strict rules path, saying no camera allows because they don't like being recorded by employees you be careful about. Path train Port Authority Trans-Hudson will bust your ass .

Why can't IRT Lexington Avenue service be brought back - this time using the outer loop? At the same time, the southern terminus of the 5 can be Brooklyn Bridge - not Bowling Green.

March 24, 2020, was actually the R32s’ death. But, from July 1, 2020 until October 8, 2020, they were used as a “reserved fleet” and re-entered service on the A, C and J, Z lines because of the R179s being pulled from service due to the second and third cars on a in-service ten-car uptown R179 A train coming unhitched and separating from each other just outside the Chambers Street Station in lower Manhattan shortly after 1 a.m. on Wednesday, June 3, 2020, forcing the MTA to evacuate 10 passengers from a tunnel. This was to fill in the gap for the R179s. On September 15, 2020, R179s returned to service after safety checks by MTA personnel were completed and the head of the MTA gave the green light and said it was safe to return the fleet to passenger service and R.I.P R32s September 14, 1964 - October 8, 2020, thanks for 56 years of service. Finally, from December 19, 2021 to January 9, 2022, a series of farewell trips occurred with the final set of R32s in passenger service, on the Q line, their original debuting line on September 14, 1964, making express stops, ending a almost 58-year career with the Metropolitan Authority Authority.

I rode these all in service; the LoV's all over the IRT, the Arnines on the IND, the AB Standards on the BMT, then R-16/17's, R27's and 32's, all memories now. For those of us who rode these cars as kids, this is a grim _memento mori_ . (The graffiti era was exceptionally painful.)

Hat KZfaq ein Erkältung oder so... 🤔

BUDD R32 sind die Coolstn' ya

What is the song name?

Why didn't they tear down more of the old trestle? It's an eyesore that no longer serves any purpose.

Do the r16

Why Sad Music I Love The New Trains

They lasted a long time!! Many transit workers felt that this was the best piece of equipment the transit authority ever purchased.

the music is more sadder than pretty blood red snow ending

Omg the TT line is real!!

You forgot to mention that this station was well-known for customers waiting in stairwells when the lower level was active, since both local and express Manhattan-bound trains merged north of the station, thus stopping at the same stations beyond.

Most importantly, you didn’t mention the new interior fluorescent lighting. The first class to incorporate these lights.

10:43; The ceiling at Atlantic Avenue, that Train rider railfan is standing, does represent the 4th. Avenue section and the old radio station from the northbound and southbound 4 and 5 trains.

8:44; This is the southbound 3 train to New Lots Avenue.

8:23; The underpasses of Nevin Street show a door with many locks indicates the lower level of the station that isn't used for service any longer. Great discovery!

Is there any history to the platform in the yard where the Retired R32 and R42 Garbage trains sit ?

It would have been nice if the MTA preserved a good hand full of R10s to be use for special occasions like the Holiday Train.

What about 2024
