The R46 is a New York City Subway car model that was built by the Pullman Standard Company from 1975 to 1978 for the IND / BMT B Division. They replaced all remaining R1–9 fleet cars and General Electric -powered R16s, and some R10s.

2025年1月2日 · After half a century, New York City is retiring its iconic orange and yellow subway cars. This year, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) will begin phasing out the R46 trains and...

2018年1月29日 · It might be time to begin saying goodbye to the R-46 subway car, which currently works the A, F and R subway lines; in fact the A fleet is still nearly all R-46. Unofficially, the “R” in front of New York City subway car designations stands for “revenue” though I have heard other words substituted for it.

2023年8月24日 · There are currently 9 train sets of R211, including the open gangway cars but not the SIR cars. At some point they will run out of room to keep both the R46 and the R211 fleets, although I get the impression from reading here that there is still room at the inn with the spare factor way down.

2023年8月24日 · There has been a claim from an employee that 40 R46 cars has been retired. I'm not sure how true this is, but I will start tracking the last time ALL Pitkin R46 sets ran (as opposed to just the married pairs). And as an employee I can tell you that’s not the case.

2023年3月24日 · The R-46 days are numbered. It will take a few years, but the remaining trainsets on the A and C lines are being replaced by the new technology R-211 cars; all new trainsets for the past couple of decades have had a relentless light and dark blue scheme, instead of the warmer orange and yellow.

The car types, which were part of the MTA NYCT GOH program, are the IRT Redbirds (R26, R28, R29, R33, R33S, R36), as well as IND/BMT cars (R30 GE, R32, R38, R40, R40A, R42, R44, and R46). These cars were rebuilt between 1985 and 1993.

2024年12月31日 · The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has announced plans to retire its iconic R46 subway cars, triggering nostalgia among New Yorkers who cherished their distinctive seating arrangement. The fleet -- which has served A, C, N, R, Q, and W lines for five decades -- will be replaced by R211 cars e...

2012年9月29日 · How would you make the R46 into a 4 car set instead of an 8 car set? I have an Open BVE with the train editor. If you have that, make a copy of the R46 folder and rename it to what you want.
