    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.

    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!

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?
