The R62 is a New York City Subway car model built between 1983 and 1985 by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Kobe, Japan, for the A Division. A total of 325 cars were built, originally as single units. When the reliability of the fleet improved, they were converted to five-car sets.

After final specifications were released for new IRT passenger cars under Contract R-62, bids were opened in July of 1981 on an initial 325-car order with a variety of options.

The R62As are numbered 1651–2475. Like the R62 order from Kawasaki Heavy Industries, the R62A was made of stainless steel and had air conditioning. A graffiti-resistant glaze was applied to all of the cars because of the extensive graffiti tagging of nearly all of the subway cars in the system since 1969. [9]

2021年6月2日 · What are the differences between the R62/R62A and R68/R68A? They look identical to me.
