mark1447 Posted May 18, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 18, 2011 What was the purpose of this R10 car having a front face of the R42? Was it suppose to bring the R10 into service through the 1990s and 2000s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vistausss Posted May 18, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 18, 2011 I think so. It do looks a little bit weird. The roundings at the front don't match with the rest of the body at all. But it would've been cool so have some R16's still in service in the 2000's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted May 18, 2011 Share #3 Posted May 18, 2011 Thats an R10! They did a much better job with the R16 they rebuilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share #4 Posted May 18, 2011 Whoops forgot it was an R10. Thanks. But still wondering what the rebuilt was for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted May 18, 2011 Share #5 Posted May 18, 2011 It was a prototype car to be rebuilt to have modern amenities at the time. It's on NYCSubway.org: http://nycsubway.org/cars/r10.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted May 19, 2011 Share #7 Posted May 19, 2011 It was a test thing like SevenEleven said. That car was in an accident and rebuilt with a R42 front but they scrapped the whole thing for some reason without it leaving the shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Louis Car 09 Posted May 19, 2011 Share #8 Posted May 19, 2011 Now that is weird.Now if they can do a R46 with a R110B front.:tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T to Dyre Avenue Posted May 19, 2011 Share #9 Posted May 19, 2011 Thats an R10!They did a much better job with the R16 they rebuilt. An R16 was rebuilt with an R42 front as well? If so, when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelhamlocal Posted October 3, 2011 Share #10 Posted October 3, 2011 r16's weren't built with a r42 front they were built with a r 142 b end but with a single storm door and a destination sign like on r62's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe C Posted October 3, 2011 Share #12 Posted October 3, 2011 r16's weren't built with a r42 front they were built with a r 142 b end but with a single storm door and a destination sign like on r62's. I hope you know what you're talking about cause i don't see anything about the R16 that looks like an R62 or R142.they look nothing like those cars.

pelhamlocal Posted October 3, 2011 Share #13 Posted October 3, 2011 I do! It's in a book called new york subway cars, the one i have is out of print but they did just release a 5th and updated edition. it was car 6429 and was remodeled at 207th in 1979, but was scrapped(i assume it never left the shop so it was scrapped the same year)Please ignore the scribbles, i was like 5 or something when i did it. and sorry for quality and it being reversed it was taken on my mac webcam.

Also when i said it looked like a r142 with single leaf storm door, i meant the blind end the one with no cab. just wanted to clear that up;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lance25 Posted October 3, 2011 Share #15 Posted October 3, 2011 That doesn't even look like an NYC Subway train. It looks more like one of the many mockups Hollywood uses when depicting our subway system here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
