The R62A Trains were awesome! Those I miss.

IIRC, the was a "redbird mutt" just like the because I remember redbirds with the drop sash windows on the as well as the .

I remember riding that R62A on the too.

I miss the days that those redbirds would roam up and down the Lex.

Grrr how come everyone has seen this infmous R62A train but me? does this R62A train still extist? All i have ever seen in my lifetime on the was greatbirds and R142s!!!!

Back in 99 it was one 10 car set assigned to the , it was that way for a few years. Now the entire line is R142's though...

Only R62A's are on the , , and these days...

... and that R62A was a set from the .

Has anyone here ever rode the R142A train? Theres a video of it on youtube i have rode R142s on the line that were from the line. because it had the line stripmaps.....

Nope I never rode it. I have seen it a few times before though.

Redbirds were on the still in 2001!

And yea, that R62A was totally weird to see but cool to ride. Wasn't there an R62/A of recent times a while ago?

How can you tell the R142 apart from the R142A?

I miss the R33's on the more than any others. I can see the elevated (2)/(5) in the Bronx from my bedroom window, and I used to love to watch the Redbirds (particularly the downtown-bound ones, for some reason), from my room when I was little.

How can you tell the R142 apart from the R142A?

The easiest way, is by looking at the car numbers and the builders.

R142 (Built by Bomardier): Car numbers 1101-1250, 6301-7180

R142A (Built by Kawasaki): Car numbers 7209-7810 (with 7731-7810 being R142S cars)

See my post here, there are quite a few but they can be subtle:

well isaw it because i used to take it to school in the bronx, and they would run it n the Dyre Ave shuttle

I miss those R33s on the line too. But i also miss the R26/28s also and the R36s i had the most fun riding those cars than any other car class. I used to love to go to flatbush ave station and hear those R33s motors warming up and the roll signs looked so cool i really miss those cars.

The R142s have really loud HAVC noise and a three pitch popusion sound and bucks when switching gears.

R142As has an popusion sound which sounds like the train is humming and which is also sounds really annoying. And it bucks worse than the R142s you always hear a big dosssssh and then the popusion sounds start.

Yeah, and the screeching brakes of the R32 are too cool to be annoying, right?

First off there is nothing annoying about the R32s. Only SOME R32s have screeching brakes every R142/A has that annoying popusion noise so you fail badly.

AdTranz propulsion sounds very similar to Siemens propulsion. I thought you thought Siemens trains sounded cool.

And every single R32 Phase II has screeching brakes. If not, then 95%. Even some Phase I R32s screech, or make sounds similar to the R160 when the train brakes too hard.

Uh adtranz propulsion sounds nothing like siemens propulsion. The siemens train does sound cool but that altsom onix populsion on the R142s R160s is very annoying. And like i said only SOME R32s have screeching brakes. While all of the R142s R143s and the R160s have that annoying atsom/adtranz populsion sound.Your just simply lieing about the R32s yes some have screehing brakes but not all of them.

Back in december during the arnies runs i had to sit in queens plaza and watch a whole bunch of phase II R32s go back in forth. On the line and out of the whole day only one or two sets had screehing brakes. While i had to wait for the arnies train to come out of layup.
