Wow, I'm surprised no one has mentioned anything yet!...

 

The R32s debuted in New York City at Grand Central Terminal...cars 3352 and 3353 (now Transit Museum cars) were the lead pair.

 

 

Happy 46th!

They had underrunning shoes installed and operated into GCT under their own power. There are photos of them on the Park Avenue viaduct.

Happy Birthday R32. You're still the beasts of the MTA's fleet. The new cars should be taking notes from you.
