The R9 was a New York City Subway car model, which was built by the American Car and Foundry Company and the Pressed Steel Car Company in 1940 for the Independent Subway System (IND) and its successors, which included the New York City Board of Transportation and the New York City Transit Authority.

The MTA has been incorporating newer subway cars into its stock in the past two decades. Since 1999, the R142s, R142As, R143s, R160s, R179s, R188s, and R211s have been added into service.

The R1–9s (colloquially known as Arnines by railfans) [citation needed] were the 1,703 similar New York City Subway cars built between 1930 and 1940 for the Independent Subway System. All were built by the American Car and Foundry Company, the Pressed Steel Car Company, and Pullman Standard.

The pre-war fleet of subway cars built for the city's Independent Subway under contracts R-1, R-4, R-6, R-7, and R-9 (collectively known by subway fans nowadays as the R-9s or "arnines") consisted of 1,703 nearly identical cars, numbered 100-1802, delivered between 1930 and 1940.

The IND began a system of classification according to contract numbers which is still in use today. The first class of car to appear on the IND was the R1; nearly identical cars were delivered in classes thru R9 and the entire group was eventually classed as R9 in later years but this was strictly vernacular.

There were two R-8A cars built in 1939 by the St. Louis Car Company and were used to gather and transport tokens along the IND division. The R-9 was built by the American Car and Foundry Company and the Pressed Steel Car Company in 1940. A total of 153 cars were built, numbered 1650–1802, and arranged as single units.
