- After 45 years of service on Queens Boulevard Lines such as the R line, the R46s have finally been completely moved off of the R Line. The R is now completely served by R160-type cars. This video shows the last days of R46s running on the R line. Enjoy!

The R46 has been ingrained in my head as the R train and will forever be so. I have so many good memories of this train. They were great and had a nice interior, one of the best in the subway rolling stock. It is terribly sad that they are being moved from the R line, their rightful home. R.I.P.
I've been riding the 46s on the R my whole life. Sad to see them go😭😭😭😭
Me toooo the R is my childhood line
At least they had a good, long life. I hope a few will be saved for the museum.
Same bro
They're not really gone. As the video says, they're in other lines now.
Let go. Otts. Are getting old sadly and they have to go
I don’t always ride the r line, but I distinctly remember the r46s always at dekalb Avenue on that line. Now I see the r46s making a home on the q line today.
Me too I don't always ride the R but I remember the plenty of times I rode on them
Why you guys don’t like The R46 R train?
i only started riding the subway daily like a year ago so ive never even seen an r46 r train or an r179 q train
I Know Because of the CBTC swap I like the R160 on the R line But I'm Hoping that the Mta Needs to make Another New Subway Cars Just For the N and Q I know the R68s Is still around But I like the Newer Subway Cars Better
3-years of them leaving the Jamaica Yard, a farewell of em' on the F and R Lines..
*THIS IS CHILDHOOD.*
It's been a long ride home for me riding the r46 R Train for almost 12 years. When I first saw an r160 R Train I was speechless. Everyday I get up 7 in the morning to see if I can spot an r160 R Train. But, I always get the r46 R Trains. Now since the r46 stock are leaving the R Train, I'm truly gonna miss them. I glad that the r46 stock trains are back on the N & Q lines.
20 years of my life now I’ve rode the R46s on the (F) and (R) trains as part of my childhood fixture. Even though I have my ups and downs with them, they will be missed but never forgotten.
The R46s were iconic on the Queens Boulevard Line, but unfortunately, all good things must come to an end sometime. At least they are on the A, C, N, Q, and W lines. As someone who has been riding the subways for 15 years and is almost 20 years old, I will never forget the R46s on the QBL
Michael M yes, true. Besides the R46s, other historic and iconic train fleets that made its history along the Queens Boulevard Line include the R32s, R40s and R42s. These I also miss as well, but what else can I say? The good thing is that they’re preserved now. As a true railfan, I’m starting to get used to riding the R46s on the (A)(C)(N)(Q) and (W) trains more now. Hopefully, once this coronavirus pandemic situation is over, I’ll be able to get my hands on fanning the (A)(C)(N)(Q) and (W) trains, and maybe make up a number of days I lost when service was running normal due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Damn the R46 on the R was my childhood
Benji Zhao same
@@keeganpolar5095 No I haven't.
The r46 A was my child hood, but ill be sad when it goes.
Benji Zhao yup
@@keeganpolar5095 It's been 12 years since the r46s ran on the E.
I always rode the r46 R train in my childhood so they will be missed
TheRailfanProductions if they take all these old trains away, what other trains will we have if the new ones aren’t all built yet ?
TheRailfanProductions wait so are they still operating but on the other lines ?
They are only taking them off the R they still are on the C
@@chantzinterlude_ yes they are
same
Welp. It's official, the Queens Blvd line is fully NTT only(r160s). It's been a great ride with you r46 R train. Now it's time for these r46s to enjoy their lives at Coney Island yard(G/N/Q/W and possibly the B). You've served a good 4 decades on the F and R and now you're moving on to newer lines. Rip to both the r46 F and R trains(1975-2020).
Raye Waddell I guess it was time for the F and R to be R160 fully. Now about the R46 is the G line half R46 and R68/A. I don’t think the B is getting R46 since they all fully equipped to
R68/A.
The CBTC should have waited like Really the N and Q lines Has to go Back to the Old Trains not a good idea
@@douglaswells6679 Why not a good idea. I mean either way the N/Q and W had no other choice. Besides only the N/W will be mostly r46s and r68s. The Q will have some r160s left over so be happy with that.
Okay
But I've been on them but mostly the R160 than the R68 and they cannot
Put and Automated System Because R68 came in 1988
I grew up on Chicago's south side. Before Pullman Standard closed I saw a few cars on the outside of the plant. I went to NYC in the fall of 1978 and was able to ride R46s on the A train. How time flies!
Woww mta subway fleet has really changed since the early 2000s went from old different variety’s of different fleets til now the same design looks idk it hurts a lil not seeing those old trains we grew up on
I will miss these so much 😭🥺 this was my entire childhood in Queens riding the R46 on the R Line
i remember seeing R46 R trains every time I arrive at 36 St on the D. So sad to see them go 😥
My last encounter of the R46 was on April 4 I'm gonna miss the R46 on Queens Blvd no more R46 on the F or R train
R46 R Train forever always gonna be symbol
somecallmeelvis if only they updated the Wikipedia for the train assignment.
somecallmeelvis I hope there should be r179 on the f and r train maybe also the e train
Francisco Leon R179 are better of on the A train. Unless the MTA decide to order more 5 sets of R179 to push some R160 to the N, Q and W. Then some R46 to the A and C and completely retire and scrap all the R32. If only the MTA increase the order more than 300 cars. It should of being at least double the amount. But is only a suggestion but things could of being better.
Also the R160 N Q W
I grew up riding the Queens Blvd line everyday and these R46s were the lifeline of this line and I will always have a special place in my heart for these trains and even tho I adore the R160s I will miss the r46s
The R46 R train was a huge part of my childhood. I would always rush to find a window seat with one of those arm rests and windows you could rest your head on.
Glad i Can provided clips 👍👌
Tubblescousine2 Your welcome 👍
Sad to see them go... The R46 R train is where I fell in love with the S curve between Cortlandt St and City Hall! The R46's were always fun and sexy to ride on, I'll truly miss them on the R. I first rode an R46 R train when I was 7 back in 2003...
They were a fixture of the R, it’s a shame they’re being moved to other lines
@Avery the Cuban-Ameri This reminds of the time that the R62A trains were displaced from the (7) line by the R188 trains and transferred back to the (6) line.
The R160 should have stayed on the N and Q Lines that CBTC should have waited
So the N and Q has to back on using old trains that's not right
@@douglaswells6679 Don't worry. The R211 trains will be on those lines very soon and it will retire the R46's on those lines.
Because of CBTC I've been on the R 46 on the R line
Gonna miss these trains on queens Blvd so much, they put in the best service they could on the R lines, by their time be continued on the N, W, and Q lines
Aw man, I'm gonna miss them so much
I will be on standby for the new R211 however I’m still hoping to be on the last R46 F train
Andys Randomness you’re late
Andys Randomness They’re all gone from Jamaica you won’t see one on the (F) ever again
There is no more R46 F as of February 2020
SubwayFan 200 The R46 was on the F train a long time ago. I’ve been there many times over the years.
@@Musicradio77Network Ive seen R46 F trains before too
RIP. One of the first trains I’ve ever ridden. Good memories.
One of those old folks that rode the R when it terminated at Ditmars Blvd. one of my favorite rides as a young teen.
I am so happy that the R46 and R68/A is running on the Q Line.
💃🏽👬🎓 Graduation R46 F, R Train Service We Miss you So Much I hope went you coming right back
I’m gonna miss these on the (R) and (F) :(
I'm gonna miss riding them on the R trains. I even rode an R46 R train without pants in the winter of 2018 when I came up for the No pants subway ride. Too bad this coronavirus crisis is still around. I was gonna come up this weekend for 5 days. The R46s are my favorite old train.
Damn dude, these things were the saviors of Broadway when I was surrounded by shitty R160’s. The only OTT that could come and save the day when I needed it.
N,Q W Coney Island yard R68 & R68A. However you might find an Orange Q circle on R68A towards 96th 2nd ave (M96 bus to 96th Broadway) via IRT 59th street East side line 63rd street platforms.
No much such door chimes on Queens Blvd. Memories will live with the R46 R. Always. 😭
The last time I rode an R46 R was back in the 80s, R46s are very reliable trains!!!
I am going to miss the R46 R train so much im going to cry forever and one more thing i rode it from 53 st and 86st to different stations
Ah, the good times. I've always seen this car mainly on the R line (along with the E, F and more recently the A C lines) and the R68s on the B, D, N, Q, and W lines since I was a child. At least the cars are still here but they're gonna have a whole new identity. I'll always remember this as ther original R train, much like the R42 was to the J, the R44 was to the A and the R38 and R32 was/ is to the C
*R68A
I took R46 R Train when I was a little. But on Q Train. I am happy for the r46 and the r68/r68a Q Train. Currently, The R46, R68/A is running as a Q Train.
RIP man r46 r trains were my whole childhood growing up 😔
R.I.P R46 Trains On The R Line
Thanks for posting. Originally from Brooklyn I live in VA Beach now. I remember in the 70's as a kid seeing when those cars were brand new, especially the red-white-blue band bicentennial cars (formerly #680 & 681) on the F line at Coney Island. First subway cars I ever rode with A/C that actually worked. They're longer length too, like LIRR & Metronorth. Wasn't long after the R46s got graffitied all up like the older models. They ran on E, F, G, N at that time, later on ran on the "JFK-train to the plane" from 57 st-6 Av to Howard Beach. All the old trains we loved all gone: R-32 & R-42's gone two months ago, now these. Hope they spare a couple for the NYT museum. Again thanks for posting DJ!
Well the R46 trains had a good one just like the C or A line like the really old ones
Aquarium Care Basics that’s a bummer
Bye old R46 R train we will miss u and NEVER forget u R.I.P R46 R trains
I love any R160 train but it’s sad to see these specific lines worth these trains go :( the R train is my main train
At least I can still see them on A for now
Nells718DK A chunk of them are on the A/Rockaway Park Shuttle, and the remainder of them are on the N/W, with what I believe is good portion operating on the G (my memory is a bit fuzzy on that one).
I Really Miss The R46 R Train When I Was A Child My Family Rode The R Train A Lot To 59th Street In Sunset Park
R46 is going on the N while r160 is on the R. R46 is mostly on the R.
Jeremy/ True. When I was about to ride the R train, I've always seen R46. Few days or Years later, R160 just came to the R line, I was like "Why is R160 on the R line? R160 supposed to stay on the F or E line." But I'm surprised that I've heard R160 R train announcements for the first time. For some reason, Now I like R160 R Train.
Jeremy/ And also, I ride the R160 R Train for the first time.
Rip r46 f train (1975-2020) r46 r train (1987-2020) may the r46 r train have a nice stay back at its original home the N line
Aw man it was only a matter of time I guess. Just before today, I was waiting for an Ⓡ train at 25 street and I got excited cause I saw an R46 coming in, but then I realized it was an Ⓝ train running local for some reason on 4th ave line. Aww damn sad to see it go been riding them since the childhood.
Carl lol u posted this 6 seconds ago and I saw it
How with the bullets
RIP R46 cars on the R line. Say hello to those wonderful NTT R160 cars with clear automated announcements on the R line. But that would unfortunately make the R160 cars on the N, Q, and W lines to go. But that's ok though because the R46 cars will be replaced by the R211 cars really soon
These were my favorite trains after the R32s and I hoped that after the retirement of the R32, the R46 would be there to comfort me. This feels like I have been stabbed. I will sorely miss these trains, I have used them my whole life.
What Happened To R46 R Train Subway Cars Fleet ❤
I remember getting on an R46 for the first time in 76 on the F. "Hey, what's this?" That "new car" smell and cold, cold AC will always be a memory. Many summer rides on the R either to Bay Ridge (Xeverian HS) or 95th (Ft Hamilton).
Everyone’s saying that they will miss the R46 on the R line. Guys stop worrying! It’s not like they are going to retire. They still operate but on other lines. They won’t be retired until when the R211 releases.
I rode the R46 Rvtrains so many times now il miss them
I remember when I was like 2 or 3 or 4 and I got to ride the r46 e trains...but the r!? Whyyyyy
Queens Blvd CBTC
I remember when I was little going to Woodhaven Blvd waiting in the station for the R46 (R)
Poor R46 R train 🥺 this train brought joy to my life I can t believe my treasure R46 R train gone. :(
R46’s were the trains of my childhood especially because I rode the R train a lot back in the day now I ride the 7 you will be missed
Damn. I grew up on 4th Avenue and West End, so seeing these R46s go on the R is kind of sad. Improvement is always a good thing, though.
Since the R46 is running on the Q,W,N, line does this mean we get the R211T next year?
Yeah
Oh definitely
Yes indeed, no doubt about that.
The R211s next year will only be test trains so we've got a while before they replace anything.
@@blakemcnamara9105 this summer a test train r211 is coming theyre gonna start rolling them in next year
Whenever I got to school I rode the R46 R and R62 7 to school. RIP
There is no LAST DAYS OF R46 R TRAINS!!! THAT TRAIN WILL BE THERE FOREVER & EVER!!!
I've only rid 5 or 7 R46s, just like the GMC RTS, GMC Fishbowls, And the flexibles, and other trains like the Redbirds, it was its time to go.
Never forget: The R46, 1973-2020
The R became almost all R46 in the 90s, alongside the G. Before that, those R46 models were on the E. They were swapped about the same time the R46 got the overhaul. I still remember when the G and R was mostly pre overhaul R32 models.
I missed the R46 so much! The Pullman standard train was so comfortable! Can;t believe I have to go all the way to Astoria to enjoy this magnificent train! Also, 67th avenue and 63rd are my stations Whoop Whoop!
Smh I like the seat configuration on these trains. I feel like there are way more seats on these trains.
If you did this in 2015 Queens Boulevard Express F train look like this 12pm to 3pm more R46 then R160s
R.I.P
I was able to ride on the r46 R train at 3 years old in 2017
These along with the r32’s were my childhood cars. I will miss them on the R line
Now they will be R68 And R68/A R train’s
I’m looking at my old childhood with these nostalgia videos, I used to take the R every time in Bay Ridge. BK s/o Rocky. ❤️
I hope the R46s spend their last years well on these new lines.
R.I.P r46 r train
Well I miss the memories of me riding these R46 r trains in queens blvd
Does this mean no more R160Bs on the N train
Kahsi E unknown Sewer A small number of R160B Siemens remain at Coney Island Yard for the N and Q trains.
I grew up with them , man that really sucks
No!!! I’ll miss those R46s. :(
Dang it sad between 2015 and 17 I rode that train all year AND FULLY R46s
wow, that's strange to see. i did often ride the R as a teenager living in rego park... it's not a train model i have a ton of nostalgia for in particular, but it's part of my formative years. a little sad to see them go, honestly.
it's a little sad to see the MTA's variety of rolling stock get lower and less diverse over time, but one also has to recognize that that diversity was only born out of decades of severe underfunding and undermaintenance forcing them to keep older car models in service for decades longer than their "shelf life" as it were
as cool as it was riding Redbirds and r40 slants in the 90s and even into the mid 2000s, that only happened because there was no other choice
that the r42s were still running til THIS YEAR is a piece of proof that the underfunding continues in some ways to this day
At least the E,F, and R got smooth subway cars ik the R160s are irritating for some people but the good thing is that it's smooth
Good thing, I've been riding R46 R Train since I was 9 or 10, I don't know. What I want is, I want Some R46 to be on the F line and I want some R160 and R160B on the D and B line, R179 too. But definitely, I don't know if MTA won't do it. Sad :(
I’ll really miss riding the R46 every time from Dwtwn Bklyn To Bay Ridge R46 you’ll really be missed on the R 😢
I remember the R46 R train
I missed the R46 subway cars when it was on the F train. First was the R42, and then the R36, and this one might end at some point until the new R211’s will come in.
I thought it said the last days of the R46
Oh Wow. I Will Miss The Memories of Riding R46's On The (R)
Same here
It’s a shamed that all the r46’s will be on the N,Q,W trains
I’m riding R46 R train as I’m kindergarten and 1st grade.
6:30 That's the interior I like!
1:18 Never liked the overhaled new interior with Daylight lighting, black floor and those yellow headpoles.
r.i.p for my R46 R trains 😭
Just like the R143 that displaced the R40,R40A, and R42 cuz of CBTC signaling, also the R188 displaced the R62A off the 7 line to the 6 line
I love the 46's they were my favorite hands down. Comfortable ride, nice seats and the only train that puts me to sleep. Just something calming and relaxing about these cars. Would have loved to give it a full ride but this damn virus.
Remembering this :(
Rip r46 r trains 197_-April 24 2:30 pm 2020.
Are they going to also remove the r46 A trains too ?
Nah, those are staying
Guys don’t forget the R142A 6 trains! They are also out
Man I remember riding these on the (R) several Times, I really miss them.
i dislike the small chairs, but love the speed and the steadiness while inside
The thing that sucks is that today,The r32s have officially retired because they can’t move the retirement to summer since of the virus and timing
they were my childhood
Aw man. I will miss riding these trains in Queens Blvd.
That was my childhood! RIP R46 (F) and (R) trains
