Ohh yes, the good old R110A, it along with the R110B, were the test trains for the new technology trains (NTTs) and with designs very and relatively similar to the R142s and R142As, built by Bombardier and Kawasaki, from 1999-2003 and 2003-04 for the IRT lettered lines of the subway. The design of the R110A/Bs were based off of the R142/As, for their construction. They only lasted in service for five years, from 1993 up until 1998, when they were pulled from service due to reports of poor braking performance, reliability issues and from the result of fires. Happy that they still have some life left in them on NYCT as pump flood cars, but not in actual passenger service and can’t carry people onboard, for work use only. Long live the R110. 😃😄👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I hope they restore the R110A back to its former look and send it to the museum because it's shell won't last for very long with pump service, especially since they have it sitting in the yard rusting away just like it did before it got converted.
There already took apart most of the original train at this point. It won’t work. There are more R110B cars around, but the same thing applies. They won’t run on their own power, like the one R44 we have preserved.

Sometimes they have the R110A at Pelham
Distinct lack of exhaust scrubbing in evidence \m/
So what happen to 8001, 8005, 8006 and 8010?
doesn't the r65s stay at jamaica usually and the r110a stay in coney island

They won’t.
They’ve found their new uses, we can appreciate these weren’t scrapped all together. Looks better as a pump train actually
I agree with you in regards to cars 8001, 8005, 8006 and 8010, however, "I'll believe it when I see it."
@@railfannerjs6308 However if it's the r110b, thats a different story

@@Chris-zs5qb there is an r110b museum train being planned to be put into the museum in 2025, the only problem theres no room in the transit museum
Yuuuuup it’s time to retire those old locomotives and replace them with the R255 diesel electric locomotives already. That bad exhaust!!! 👎🏾
