⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ R32s on their Final Farewell Trip
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 січ 2022
- As part of the retirement ceremony for the R32 subway car, they made final runs in December 2021 and January 2022 as part of a series of farewell trips organized by the New York Transit Museum on four consecutive Sundays. On the final day, January 9, 2022, the train ran along the IND Second Avenue Line, BMT Broadway Line, and BMT Brighton Line between 96th Street and Brighton Beach. This is very historically significant, as it was the line that the cars first ran on when they debuted in 1964. Enjoy this comprehensive look at the operation!

RIP The R32s, 50+ years of great service
Anyone who doesn’t appreciate the longevity and reliability of these cars has no idea of true craftsmanship.
@@davidng2336 or maybe they just don’t like them
To be exact, it was 58, which is nearly 60 years, and it was the same year as MLKs
Some of the most memorably dreamy rides in the NYC Subways is on the R40 "slantface" cars, and we'd ride them btwn two connected R40 slants like a huge open-air convertible, particularly on the 'A' train, in the summer, it was just a the most glorious of all Subway rides... until some policeman tells everyone to go inside... ...and the R32s always struck me as "faster Subway cars", probably bcuz of the psycho-visual effect of those long and shiny corrugated lines in either direction of travel, and those zippy-lookin' 'TA' roundels... and those incandescent light bulbs zipping-by ever so quickly as the rail-noise picks up in those curiously dark tunnels that takes us to who-knows-where... and after hitting "top-speed", I think the motorman lets off the throttle, and you'd get the sensation that the Subway cars "float" down the rails ... which is like all those old Subway cars I grew up with.
I miss the R40 Slants the most out of all retired cars. Simply the coolest.
Interesting fact about that last part. The first few R32's actually did "float" on the track a little. Despite being stainless steel, the carbodies were actually lighter on the springs compared to the carbon steel cars like the Arnines. So the early '32's sat a little bit taller on the track and ended up clipping some tunnels. I think they added something to the underbody to get them to sit lower, and that probably helped with their acceleration too!
But yeah, the R32's were my first introduction to fluted stainless steel cars and I've pretty much associated them with speed ever since. Heck, when I used to live neat the J and Z, I thought the "Ruffles" were _newer_ than the R42's even though they were half a decade older. Honestly, at this point I'm just waiting for a pair of them to be added to the Train Of Many Metals to see how they line up next to the older Budd R11 and the St. Louis "copy" R38.
Farewell to one of the most iconic subway fleets that served every B Division line. I will always remember riding this for the last time...
58 years of service for this iconic fleet. Absolute icons of NYC. Definitely the most durable subway cars the city has ever seen. Despite all the early problems the R179 fleet has had hopefully they can have a long life of service for NYC. RIP R32’s 1964-2022.
These R32s were my absolute favorite to ride in and anytime I had the choice (and time), I'd skip the A and hop on the C. It's awesome to see so many people share their love for these cars and I'm definitely sad they'll no longer be in use.
I wish the whole R32 fleet would be preserved in storage these trains are amazing!!
The NY Transit Museum saved two of them. They’re on permanent display at the museum in Brooklyn.
I am very happy I was able to be there for the final day, it was a great way to give a fond farewell to the wonderful R32 trains. They have been through a lot, are a part of history, are strong, and they still look and feel wonderful with their interior and exterior, especially with the fluted metal, and their speed. They were iconic, a mainstay and a symbol of the subway, and they were my favorite MTA train because of all of that, as well as all of the great memories I have riding these trains over the years. Thank you for all of the great years of service and good-bye dear train.
R.I.P those R32s. One of the greatest trains ever built. I remember riding them on the A/C and the J/Z. Good times.
I was honored to be in another farewell run. I was present and even displayed a model of an r32 for the event. Im sadden that these cars after 58 years of service, there no longer in service. We shouldn't never forget and honor the legacy of the r32.may they never be forgotten.
Ok, I cried... Those were wonderful cars, and days for me in NYC. I remember my first ride on these cars. I loved the ta symbol too. Thank you for this video.
I’m proud of MTA doing the R32 final farewell run on the Q line. When I was on that train, it was lit.
This was the best train ride of my life I rode it multiple times
I miss this Route so much I’am not happy when it had retired. When I first took this route the R32, it was in great shape from the beginning when it was running fast starting with the Local & then it became the Express. Back in 1970’s it was on the G Train, F Train, N Train and the list of trains go on. Now that it’s not running anymore and remain to rest, I’m not happy and still sad and I feel like I want to cry 😢😢
It’s just like a finale to a tv show. 😢
R.I.P to the famous brightliners. No other subway car will ever replace these🙏.
It was nice to see R32s in their original "paint." I wasn't around when they were built, but it was something.
Farewell, The R32s. They still live on in our hearts. (and work trains)
Never rode them much, but was in love with them anyway.. I know this comment is a bit late but these cars were always my favorite to catch while we were waiting for an F train at Jay Street Metrotech, thanks for making my days R32! (Edit-Wow, them R32s do be hauling 😎🔥)
Thanks for sharing this footage on the last run of the R-32 trains. I was unable to make the last runs because of circumstances that were beyond my control. The one that hurt the worst was when I was about to leave from my hometown Pittsburgh, PA, a bad snowstorm on the PA Turnpike delayed all the Greyhound buses for hours when I was leaving for New York on Sunday morning. I do have some video and still shots from past visits; that's a good enough consolation for now. I hope I get to ride any remaining R-32's on fan trips and any nostalgia rides. Thanks again.
The beautiful and Iconic R32. The best looking, most reliable subway car in the history of the NYC Subway. AND I hope that one day the MTA would return to similar logo as displayed on these R32's !! Thanks for posting.
It was nice meeting you after the 1:30pm run on Jan 9th, these trains are a major staple in my childhood as they ran on the F, V, R and E line before 2010 along with the r40m and r42s, Salute to the brightliners and thank you for your service
The last of the beautiful subway cars. Nothing compares.

Goodbye R32s, gone but never forgotten
Long live the R32s! Thanks for being one of the conductors too!
Fitting retirement run!! I've ridden the r32's on the A train from Far Rockaway to Manhattan
Thanks for sharing😀😀♥️♥️
Rest In Peace, bright liners.
What a fun and amazing, if not bittersweet four Sundays. It was great to see and ride them one last time but we all knew the 32s final day in service was going to come. I'm hoping to see four more 32s preserved to go with 3350 through 3353--the better for the 32s to be able to run in their own set on the Parade of Trains just because they came about as the first production run stainless steel cars for B Division and occupy a significant spot in NYCMTA history as a result.
I can't wait to see them again in a future event--be they as part of the Train of Many Metals or as their own set in the Parade of Trains. Thanks to eveyone who sacrificed anything and everything to make the R32 Final Runs possible.
It was a sad day for me as a railfan to finally see probably the best cars ever produced in the system retired. I'll always feel like they're still running somewhere.
I feel like the New York City subway will never be the same without the r32
@@nysubwaydude5634 It really won't.
there should be an r32 emoji or something it would make up the sadness we are all feeling of the retirement runs.
This was sooo cool! I sadly only got to go to the first one, but nonetheless it was amazing to see these cars go for a run one last time. These were HAULING on 6th Ave, when I say that I mean FAST! Around 40-45 I believe almost maybe 50.
A perfect way to say goodbye to one of MTAs special subway types that’s been in service for such a long time. Awesome R32 catches
Rest easy, R32's 🙏🏾☮️♥️💯💪🏾🗽
This is history, recorded for prosperity. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Ah, Yes... I rode on those cars when they were new!
The first farewell event had to end early because of scumbags that decided it was a good idea to vandalize the historic train. Otherwise, glad that the other farewell event went as expected.
Thank you for those wonderful announcements :D
You did good bro
I was surprised but pleased that quite a few young people participated
Rip r32 you can now travel with your older sisters in train heaven
i remember taking the R32 C train when i was 4-5 to 1 of my classes may the R32 be remembered
Damn, I can't believe they are actually gone, they could have operated for another 10 years or so.
I did not get a chance to ride them on their retirement trips. But I have had fond memories riding these trains, R42 and other now retired train sets.
Rest in Peace you beautiful old Ruffles. The system really won't be the same without you
Also this is pretty minor but I'm looking over the figures as the main train split apart for the parade, and...I think that's the closest I've been to someone else's recording at this event. I just find that cool
I love how DJ just put sad music at the outro in honor of the R32😢
Damn I didn't get the very final run, but it was one hell of a day! Glad that I was able to participate.
First rode these on the E, they were mainstays there till they were all retired and the C was the only line to exclusively have them however the A got them from time to time. I missed seeing them on the J since I since moved away from NY
Man RIP R32, they're very legendary compared to the R42s. I grew up riding them on the A, B, C, D, E, J, Q, & Z. Still see other units as garbage trains hanging around, but this final run was the last it ran as Passenger Service.
Yep
Yessir 👍🏾
Great Video!!! R.I.P. to The R32's.
That was such a fun day! I am
still working on my R-32 video. I hope to have it uploaded this weekend.
RIP to the best MTA car ever.
I was the one saying: “Call right now, and I’ll double the offer!” After that one guy said: “but wait! There’s more!” at 30:51
LOL! Sorry! Was having such a fun time!
The r32 will be missed
They will indeed.
I like that a kid touched the R32 20:06 and said it fells warm 😂😂😂😂
6:48 This conductor must have spent some time in WMATA to make that announcement.
Lmao. That’s conductor DJ Hammers for you.
That was a great job by the MTA!!!
These cars were legendary
Thanx for the great video. I assume that the first two cars in blue are going to be preserved in the MTA museum??
How can a train that's so old be so *clean?*
I was in car 3480 on the second trip. Awesome time. Reminds of when the r40s ran all those years ago. Disappointed that the very first cars 3352-3353 aren’t operational. Having them would have been amazingly appropriate for this day.
I expect 3352-3353 and 3350-3351 to be restored soon. With the retirement of the last R32s, their parts can help restore other museum cars.
@@davidng2336 3350-3351 have been preserved by some sort of Railway Company. 3352-3353 on the othee hand ARE part of the NYTM but arent in operational condition
@@Sonic57053 I know. Yet many of the Railway Preservation Corp. cars are often used on various New York Transit Museum-sponsored excursions. I hope both of these pairs return to operational condition for the fan trips. Do you think 3360-3361 will be saved?
@@davidng2336 you're in luck. 3360-3361 are ACTUALLY preserved in the NYTM after the ceremony. It's unknown where it is but it's now part of the museum fleet. Tho 3352-3353 are Phase II units while 3360-3361 are Phase I units, I don't see any possibility for those 2 to even be mixed
@@Sonic57053 probably not unless they’re willing to make modifications to make them compatible. Meanwhile two GE cars, 3594-3595, survive as NYPD training cars at Floyd Bennett Field. I’m still surprised they chose GE cars for this purpose, but am also happy that these unique rebuilds were not scrapped.
Congratulations on 60K Subscribers
Thanks :D
@@DJHammersTrains np, I forgot to give u a MetroCard from 2003 or 2004. But when we meet again, I’ll will surely give it to you for reaching this accomplishment and putting smiles on transit fanners faces.
Congrats on 60k subs 🎉
Funny enough on the last day I tried to catch the 10 am ride but the lirr AND q train delayed it for me to just miss it. Then I went to the transit museum and caught the train on prospect park. Yeah it was packed and full of seniors that remember riding these silver liners back in day when they were on almost every line. It was quite an experience. At least they went out in a bang. Imagine the R46 probably getting the same treatment in the future.
Congrats on 60K!!!
Hope you get 100K subs soon
Very nice video! Thank you! Could somebody explain to me why the cars had two indication signs on the front back in the days and only one later on? Thank you very much!
R.I.P the R32s
I was in the second blue R32 car. I was in the 1970’s liveis R32
They will be missed
😥 I miss the r32
Plus the r46 will start to retired thus year 😥😢😭😭😭😭

R32!! R32!! R32!! R32!!!!!
RIP r32 (1964➡️2020)😥
Might be a premature post since I am only just past halfway in the video. Did anybody snap or capture an image of the signs posted in the windows about these last runs?
…………….but how can I find out when these events happen cause I’m mad I always miss out on them -_____-
13:44 he said uhh
22:52 is a hysterically funny moment.
Most iconic car for lettered
God bless these godly brightliners
THE R32 CARS WERE THE ABSOLUTE BEST HANDLING CARS IN THE SUBWAY, ESPECIALLY THE SMOOTHEST BRAKING. A MOTORMAN COULD STOP AN R32 AND YOU MIGHT NOT FEEL THE SLIGHTEST BUMP. I OPERATED ALL TRAINS IN THE MUSEUM AND R32 CARS BEAT ALL. I OPERATED "Q" CARS A COUPLE OF TIMES ON THE MYRTLE LINE TO JAY ST. THEY WERE THE WORST DUE TO OLD TECH. THE R44 CARS WERE THE WORST NIGHTMARE. NO ONE ESPECIALLY CAR EQUIPMENT KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THEM & THEY BROKE DOWN ALL OVER THE SUBWAY. SO MANY CRACKED UNDERCARRIAGES THAT ALL R44 CARS ON LINES
A, D, E, & F HAD TO BE TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE.
LUCKILY FOR THE PEOPLE, THE SCRAP DEALER DID NOT DESTROY THE R9 CARS. TRANSIT HAD TO RENT THEM BACK FROM SCRAP DEALER. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A "CLOWN SHOW" IF THE ENTIRE CITY WASN'T ALREADY COLLAPSING.
I WAS 24 THEN, NOW I AND OTHERS HAVE SOME LIVING HISTORY OF THE SUBWAY & NEW YORK CITY 1960s TO ,1990s TO TELL.
No other Subway car will EVER match the R32s. That’s the truth.
I was there too!! I saw you.
Lol first and love the content man i was also there to i have some videos to
22:48 hey its me!
That was me on 3895 @ 3:30.
are there r32's still in service?
@NYC Pokemon Fan did the r38, r40, r42, and r44 came back after r32 retired?
Brown M final run video coming soon
50 yrs like nothing is like 5 15 yrs
Nyc best subway cars rip r32s
24:00 deuces we out ✌️
RIP R32 o7
Would you miss the R32s?
