DARTHBLUNT420 Nice
Frankly Speaking l
Frankly Speaking lucky
My dads an RCI (Road Car Inspector) and we would talk about subway cars too!
Thanks for posting. I never saw this before. Good to see Don Harold so well preserved!
You're welcome.
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.
Like I previously stated, they only had 25 minutes for this documentary, which is not a lot of time...
And it stops at R160. DUMB!
Suck you R160 and suck you alstom
I wish they brought the R110A and R110B
R179 = R.I.P R42's
8:00 their body language looks like they're about to start a rap song. 🤣
I love this video and RIP 2 the trains that no longer live in the NYC subway
+Andrew Campbell Thank you for the comment!
Ur welcome
Hey Andrew why types of trains you mean the R40S and M and Redbirds?
They're not running anymore
I LOVED THE SLANTS PLEASE BRING THEM BACK PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭
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.
NYC subway ARE air conditioned. The problems are that the tunnels were built long before air conditioning on subways was even a pipe dream. The cars dispel inside heat into the stations and tunnels and the hot air has nowhere to escape. Supposedly WiFi is on the way at some point in time. NYC subways run 24/7/365, carrying more passengers in a day or year than any other mass transit system in the US. The newest subway tunnels are, I believe, the IND Fulton Street Line to Euclid Avenue and it dates back to the 1950's.
The subways cars are air conditioned, not the actual stations. Some stations have wi-fi but if you've ever been to Hong Kong they actually blast cell phone signals throughout the tunnels and the stations are air conditioned too. NYC's subways are big especially compared to Hong Kong but we had over 100 years to improve.
People in Asia are dumber and every day has radiation everywhere. The also built their stations closer to the ground. The newest tunnels are the 2nd Avenue Subway. In London, the deep level lines are not air-conditioned, and the stations are not air conditioned meaning radiation everywhere.
You Cannot have platform doors on the stations unless the trains and automated and not manually driven. The NYC Subway is upgrading its signalling to a new system that will have automatic train control and then platform doors will be able to be installed.
Kenny Yee cool
I really miss R110A and R110B
Dòng Ròng yeah I miss them too
R110A = Strong Fire
R110B = Break Problems
Watch him roll now R110B had the fire
I loved the R32 when I was a grownup ;-) ;-) ;-)
When you WERE a grownup?
Skipped the R38, R40/M, R42, and the R68/As.
Like I previously stated, they only had 25 minutes for this documentary, which is not a lot of time...
And it ends at the R160. DUMB!
What a excellent video. Thanks for the love you put into it! Looking forward to seeing more :D
This video is still cool 😀👍
They didn’t have enough time to put all the cars because the documentary was only 25 Minutes.
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).
finaly mta reveals the official open gangway R211
And you know what? It's nothing more that today's version of the old BMT Triplex Car. Or at least that's what it appears to me.
Very nicely done. I just wish I had seen the "slants" represented!
Sean Lonergan They didn’t have time to add that in..

6:50 Anyone noticed the WMATA 6000 series cars
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 never rode that train because I was born the year that this video was filmed
besides the r160 subway cars they are making 2 new subway cars by this year
Forgotten Models:
R188, R179, R211A, R211T, and R211S
It ends at R160. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE R188?
QuarioQuario54321 This video is from 2012 🙄
THere were R160s in 2012!
QuarioQuario54321 there s even a picture of one behind the guy XD
That’s an R142 I think.
Not enough time
I am just looking for discontinued lines
Do you have any idea what the R142S is supposed to be? I believe it's a variation of the bombardier R142.
basically they are supplement cars from bombardier, built after the order was completed. All of the R142s' are running on the (4) now. (#1101-1250)
interisting series.
no r38):(
Again, they only had 25 minutes for originally a 30 minute show..
1:18 r44 use to run on the Long Island railroad
These Trains Were "High Speed" And " High Tech". HOW FAST IS THAT TRAIN GOIN M8
It was high speed for a commuter train that transported thousands of people in a day, to stations that were blocks away. More importantly, this was a few decades ago. That's kinda the point...
Why don’t they talk about the attractive R40 cars that attracted people to get out of their cars and take the subway instead?
They initially put this together for a 30-minute television show...my apologies...
5 Express to Nereid Ave. passing Southern Boulevard
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
+JustYourAverageCoffee LovingNewYorker They make better more advanced trains For god sakes these are companies that build High speed trains
Man Cho But I feel like they sacrificed quality for technology. Instead of wasting the older trains why not upgrade their systems and make them run on the express rather then the local. Also there doesn't seem to be American workers, no in days its more foreign made
JustYourAverageCoffee LovingNewYorker you do realize that is cost more money to constantly upgrade the old to fleet rather than replace them and the run part is painfully unrealistic also name at a least 5 CURRENT TRAIN BUILDERS THAT STILL PUMP OUT TRAINS THAT ARE AMMERICAN so basically you want TRAINS from the 1940s to still be operating right
Man Cho i never said I wanted trains from the 1940s, though that would be cool
+TheAviationGuy whodoesAviationstuff There is nothing wrong with the American spirit but what is called economics. The cost of building cars has gotten to the point where it is uneconomic for multiple companies to be able to survive by building the relatively few cars ordered. This has happened to numerous companies in varying industries. It is sad but true.
The specifications keep changing mostly to higher safety and high tech which add to the cost. Also the labor to build the cars keeps going up.
I like when they were paint from top to bottom with graffiti. Those were the days
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.
That's not that gonna happen
Did it skip the r38?
Yes, because they only had 25 minutes for a 30 minute show...
They also skipped the r68/a and the r40s/42s
Oh
do they have the R38 IN THE BOOK? *COUGH* *COUGH* THIS VIDEO
They do, they just didn't have enough time to incorporate it into the video...sorry...
😢😢😢😢😢😢No more R110b i love the r110b
me too:(
+Matthew 2008 ikr the R110Bs are AWESOME i made a A train version using stucture blocks in MC 1.10 THE ANNOUSSMENTS WORK AND MOVE 😃😃😃😃😃
Nice Video 👍
Thanks!
did they just say r142s?
5:35 what the hell is a R142S?
500th Subscriber
your right
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
They are in "long-term storage" in the various yards around the system...once the pandemic is over, they will do a "Farewell Run" with these cars, and then they will slowly disappear...
@@YoungNYCSubwayFan OK OK cool. I definitely gotta go
I like the R142A
What is the show called?
The show was called "Transit Transit Newsmagazine," before it went off the air in 2014. If you type the title in Google, you will be able to view some prior episodes of the show.
what about the r179 r46 r68 r211 and r42
They initially put this together for a 30-minute TV show...my apologies...
I wish r110b trains werr in service.
42luke roblox Why? They were only test runs. Plus the R142/As are the R110s, busy with some slight differences.
What about Siemens?
Again, they only had so little time to produce the film to begin with. Sorry...
they just forgot the r68s
like train
Introducing the R110B!!!!! THE NEW TECH TRAINS THAT WILL RUN ON EVERYLINE!!!!!!! Just kidding only on the A and C trains and will live for 40 years!!! just kidding it retired only 2 years after delivery Thanks alot MTA you suck
Trains NYC they weren’t meant for long term use. They only existed to test new technology features. They had to be retired anyways because of braking and engine issues.
Trains NYC im pretty okay with this, because i still get to enjoy a ride on the R-32s the C train provides and sometimes the As
Me Ben Ami Love R42 And R44 Rail Cars
STAND CLEAR OF THE CLOSING DOORS PLEASE
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.
Carlos M. Pizarro Why?
The R44 looks like the R46
What about R179
When this was made & produced, the R179s were not in their minds. The NTT (New Technology Trains) at the time this video was created were the R142s, R143s & R160s. Sorry...
I like the R29 it lookd likr the redbird and the r16 but the roof is black i dont realy Luke that
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.!
martin matsil Real reason was for rotting frames.
R160A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the r-68 changed little from the r-30 its design is like the r-46 but its a more simple design
nikkia730 they didn’t have time for that
nice video but why mta no longer have R110b cars on the lines
They were only test trains...
YoungNYCSubwayFan m0
they were in operation onetime,but soon stopped a couple of months later
mark op They had major problems.
MTA MONEY TAKING AGENCY
this is in the past.although when they were in service some people used Graffiti on the train walls.the present is boring.
No R143😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
Are you deaf? Or blind? Or both? If both, how do you know you typed words?
THIS IS NOT ENOUGH TIME THATS WHY
Forgot r179 you bums.
Correct me if I am wrong but this documentary takes place in 2006-07 and the R179 didn't come to NYC until 2008-09.
MJofLakeland1 no it came last year
They are horrible they have so many problems
David B The problema have been fixed and more reliable than the turds that are the R42 cars.
U FORGOT The 160's
The video is only less than 30 minutes to begin with, and it's briefly mentioned towards the end...sorry...
Y
They did skip the r38
Again, only 25 minutes for a 30 minute show...they had to skip something...my apologies...
MARIA FATIMA ABELLANOSA yes
I loved the R32 when I was a grownup ;-) ;-) ;-)
