Hi all!
From 1964 to 1965 the Budd Company build 600 stainless steel subway cars for the New York City Subway.
These cars were known as the R32 and R32A type.
They were also known as “Brightliners”.
The R32 cars were numbered 3350 to 3649 and the R32A cars were numbered 3650 to 3949.
As of the night of 1/11/2020 New York time the remaining R32’s were retired from regular passenger service.
Some may be seen out on movie trains.
I dare say some will be kept for heritage trains.
I have heard some have been stored so that if they really really need them they can use them however that’s doubtful as more of the new R179 fleet enter service.
The photo provided shows a trains made of R32 type cars on a C line train at Fulton Street station on 28/5/2019.
For videos on the R32 cars and much more please visit this playlist of videos filmed by me on YouTube:
