One of the most nostalgic video i've ever seen on youtube. We never realize how much we are close to the objects we rub elbows with each day. I didn't knew the redbirds but I understand the emotion of someone who travelled each day during so many years in these wagons. We should enjoy more the things we get nearness with. That's my proposition. Sorry for my english, i'm french
I rode them throughout my childhood. I remember them being loud, especially on express runs where it would reach higher speeds. Last time was around my last year of high school in 2003. I remember them just disappearing, I wasn't aware that they were all gone until a few years later.
Amanda Marcelle my sister when she was young she used to film trains and she saw a lot of Redbirds but after the stop using them she stop filming them her favorite train was the Redbirds
I rode these bad boys every day on the #7 line in the mid 80's. They were quiet, cool, comfortable, and relatively reliable, other than occasional door issues, quickly resolved by RCI's. I knew they were not as new and shiney as the cars on the IND line, but I liked them better anyway.......RIP Redbirds!
Nice tribute video, thank you for creating & uploading it for train enthusiasts & nostalgic NY'ers. Bought my two sons (4 & 12 yrs. old) MTH Red Bird work train in an O gauge yest. & can't wait to see their faces when they open it for Xmas as they've wanted it last Christmas but I settled for Polar Express model do to feasibility.
I had never go to ride in those trains,my parents did and they told me about it and I have love them. I had rode in a R40 I loved the cabins and Doors. That time I was a baby when I rode it now I am 10. EDIT: I am now 12, I am thinking this video. I still miss you Redbirds… you were legendary to the Subways.
@@Katrielle_Going_To_Quebec If MTA Thought Twice before Scrapping and Sending them into the ocean, They Could refurbish it somehow... Refurbishment always Gives the 2nd Life to the old Units
@@poznanskiszybkowiec_official I actually don't live in New York, I actually live in Montreal. So I'm not too familiar with the MTA. But I can say that in our subway when we retired our old subway cars "MR-63" in June of 2018, we don't put them in the water because they were not built to be outside, some are actually bought by companies to be transformed into other stuff and some are just scraped. Although one is preserved in a museum. Did any of your Redbirds were preserved?
@@Katrielle_Going_To_Quebec I think that Some R33s & R36s are stored for Vintage tours, i don't live in NYC, But i know MTA Really well, Their Next target is to Withdraw Older trains As the part for those new R211 Trains, i don't like the new units
Exactly Ask your mom about the good old 70s Things were cheap back then in the city Rents were cheap the subway mite have smelled but the city was really FUN and people were not as up tight as there are now. I lived down in the village and used to go wash square alot even NYU was fun in the early days now the city sucks that is why i dont live there any more
redbirds rip 1963-2003 for r36 and rip redbirds 1962-2003 for r33 the old days mannn I used to ride them on every irt line to every borough except staten island ah this gives me memories and ah yes the good old subway series 2000 and some of the Redbirds that stayed until 2010 I rode them on the 2 and 5 lines but before 2003 I rode them on all irt lines
20 other sets of red bird subway cars could have been saved for emergency uses for the 2 and 5 trains including a couple other line for the 4 6 and 7 trains too! High tech trains still have issues sometimes too!
It will never ever be the same so sad that I never got to ride the red birds because I was born on 2010 and the red bird servires was 1992 to 2003 Novenber 3 and so in November 2003 6 the red birds got dunes 💔
The redbird has returned this year! They appeared on the (7) line as a celebration for the 7's 100th Anniversary! I have no idea when it started or when it ends.. :l Go to trainlurvs video to see them!
no one will then take the NYC subway because the most of the riders are not part of your stereotype of loving old stuff because these types of people want new stuff to improve their commute and the red birds nowadays look unattractive, ancient, and dull
RIP 1959-2003 Redbirds you have serve us well
It's 1962 to 2003
Wow man its 2020 and i still come back to this video.. i busted out in tears when i found this video becuase i used to watch this years back
The red birds were my favorite IRT trains RIP
I always remember you...Redbirds...

“Wagons” LMAO
@@Boypogikami132 dude it’s just their English
@@tays.lover1989 yes I know what British English is I was just laughing at the fact that it’s the word “wagons”.
They are still servicing, just the fish now!! They were beautiful, wish I'd lived back then. Seems like a simplier life.
Even though I don’t live in New York City, I’m literally seeing this crying😢
They need to raise those HISTORIC TRAINS
King Quagmire A few cars are on the property for fan trips.
The R32 never dies however
We will never forget you redbird You will always be in our hearts rip

Maybe the sound of the train is the reason they’re getting scrapped or maybe it’s because they’re just old
So they stopped using them around the early 2000s wow I think I remember seeing a red train when I was 4 years old around that time
Amanda Marcelle my sister when she was young she used to film trains and she saw a lot of Redbirds but after the stop using them she stop filming them her favorite train was the Redbirds
They went out of service in 2003, with the last trip on the (7) on November 3rd of that year.

We never know how much we love the Redbird's until it is gone. Rip Redbird's 1962-2003 we will never miss you godbye
Absolutely beautiful video. ;)
Theres just no character with any new train/bus/car designs these days.
basically whoever says its an R142 or R160, your wrong. The new 7 train car is an R188. if you think im lying, then look it up
Robcia335-Roberto Garcia R188 is basically a R142A
@@trainsgod1042 But Modified...
Konstal105NRocks barely
@@trainsgod1042 Actually that is exactly what it is, a modified R142A, The R188 were made USING 142a's, that's why the 142a's are so rare to see now
thericksterrick not really go to the 4 line bam R142As
I never got to ride a redbird train since I didn't start riding trains until August 2008.
i will never forget the redbirds
I’m crying because of this
I wish I could see one in person
Fun fact: The R27 and R30 are also Redbirds but on the B division. They retired from 1993 to 2005
Yea they where mostly on the C and A
The redbird trains was my favorite😢😢😢
Miss Redbirds forever
I saw Redbirds when I was like 4 or 5 years old
Alicia Lopez same
I was born just 4 days after their retirement
Too bad i was born in 2011
RIP the redbedis all the way to 1962 all the way to 2003
For me the RedBirds were the train that was so noticeable. I was so sad when I saw this video.
when I am big I am going to drive the last redbirds
Redbirds are in no service now
There are a few perserved redbirds though
Odalys y juana mendez TF?
Odalys y juana mendez is it 2002 if so good luck

Exactly Ask your mom about the good old 70s
Things were cheap back then in the city
Rents were cheap the subway mite have smelled
but the city was really FUN and people were not as up tight as there are now. I lived down in the village and used to go wash square
alot even NYU was fun in the early days
now the city sucks that is why i dont live there any more
Did you have to show the one at the bottom of the river?
Nice anyways! Good job!
I saw saw some red birds at East 180th Street in the bronx

the redbird train that had the number 9075 i saw that somewhere at least we can still see it and people can see redbird was thrown in the ocean
RIP RedBird we will miss you
*hugs all * is okay the Redbird put in the water
new york in the 70s and early 80s was the best
never been the same since "SNIFF"
1:16 waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I never saw the red bird before I NEVER saw it before it happened 1963-2003
R.I.P Redbird
20 other sets of red bird subway cars could have been saved for emergency uses for the 2 and 5 trains including a couple other line for the 4 6 and 7 trains too! High tech trains still have issues sometimes too!
my dad came to new york in 2000 just 3 years just before the redbirds erased existence
Hyper Sonic The Hedgehog My Dad Came To New York in 1990
These Redbirds served NYC for 8 generations.
This Is About Me Too Right? :c
R.I.P. R33ML
Never got a chance to ride a single redbird. ;-;
Rolly NoobyGamers SAME

New Redbirds, R110A, R749 Pump Cars, R110B, R1, R14, and R225A/B on July 2019-2020!

R.I.P Redbird and bluebird
It will never ever be the same so sad that I never got to ride the red birds because I was born on 2010 and the red bird servires was 1992 to 2003 Novenber 3 and so in November 2003 6 the red birds got dunes 💔
@Renz-O R32s are retired
Ok good
R.I.P Redbirds 😭😭

MTA says that they dumped them into the ocean to make "Artificial reefs".......MTA is totaly crazy.
god bless the redbrids
R.I.P Redbirds.
Redbird is a IRT Car!
coldplay-the scientists
i remember in 1987 i took my 13th redbird it was a 6 train
Good memories of the Red birds 1962 all the way to 2003 RIP

Its one last breath by Creed
RIP redbirds 1962-2003
me too
J seen one running the 1 line today
Can I be possible
The train with the yellow and orange seats are still alive as well.
OH C,MON
You can find the Redbirds in the Train of Many Colors.
That Brighton
I didn't get to ride the redbird because I was born in 2009
Mariah Mendoza I was born in 2006
its basically like the r32s but red
The redbird has returned this year! They appeared on the (7) line as a celebration for the 7's 100th Anniversary! I have no idea when it started or when it ends.. :l Go to trainlurvs video to see them!
i tottaly agree. they should just keep them running until neew technology trains
They still run the redbirds, but on the Train of Many Colors
sadder than the titanic
R142 looks like the r110a
They need to resurect these trains and put them back in service not only the number lines but the letter lines as well
Frank Maldanado Why?
no one will then take the NYC subway because the most of the riders are not part of your stereotype of loving old stuff because these types of people want new stuff to improve their commute and the red birds nowadays look unattractive, ancient, and dull
So sad the r33 is gone:(
trainz569 dam I thought i was alone in watching this video in 2019
At least bluebird is still alive
The redbirds were much nicer than the current stainless steel.
The redbirds are the R21, R22, R26, R27, R28, R29, R30, R33, and R36, (my personal fav).
2:11 Why is the number (7) Color red?
Your just colorblind.
R.I.P.
what the hell ive never seen any r142s on the 7 train in my life
R142As got converted into R188s in 2013
The Redbirds train was my fav train in the 7 line at her that they added the R188 now I went in river and I saw the redbird
And the blueBird
I'm sure that the r211 will be much better because the doors are 8 inches wide
