R1 (New York City Subway car)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The R1 subway car was the first order of original passenger stock for the IND New York City Subway. 300 cars were manufactured between 1930 and 1931 by American Car and Foundry Company, numbered 100 through 399. Future passenger stock orders through to R9 were virtually identical, with minor mechanical or cosmetic variations.

The first R1 cars to see passenger service were sixteen individual cars that were placed in revenue service on the BMT Sea Beach Line in 1931 for testing and returned to the IND the same year. The BMT was to have been paid by the City of New York for the testing but, since they were fairly extensively used in service (made up as two 8-car trains) the BMT and City called it even.

R1 had been running until 1969-1970 retirement. Some R1s kept running on work service into the late 1970s.

Note: R2 contract order are trucks and motors for R1 fleet.
