Ohh ok, yeah he said when they got them hot off the press they tested them up to at least 70, even though their top speed is 67 m.p.h. According to Kawasaki, nycsubway.org, and videos

A motorman told me he got his 62's up to 68 mph!!!!! Which is insane, and his 142A's, before the MTA capped them, was about 74 mph, which is fast. Now as far as the current sysyem, I've asked a few motorman the same question, how fast have you gotten up to, R142 on the 2, 50 mph, R142A, I've heard 55 and 50 and 49, obviously on the 4 line, and the 62's up to 68 on the 4. Crazy, how fast is the R142A anyway?
