Everyone mentions the stripes on both trains as the difference. But another difference is the R44s had the glass panels inside by the doors while the R46s doesn’t.

That didn’t matter. When they had the chance to fix the problems they didn’t do it because they had no cash, when they had cash it was too late for the NYCT R44s.
@@Boypogikami132Clearly not true as they managed to store r44s in coney Island yard and some for the SIRT, and even in 2023 you can still see r44s in Coney Island yard
The MTA Already did, but cause of all the damn graffiti, the main body frame of the R44 was deforming faster then it should which leads to the early retirement of R44s.
@@JamesQuent they were supposed to be replaced by the R211 with the R46s but the damn graffiti and following acid bath made it so that they were unstable, meaning they had to be replaced by the R160s.
Excellent upload! I miss the sound of the brake release of the R44s! 😁🎧
Thanks
Very nice. The least missed car type ever, since the R46 swooped in and replaced them on the same line.
Speak for yourself. Many loved these cars.
These cars are very similar to the R46 so its almost as if a replacement never even occured .
@@ArrowIIIRailfan the stripes are different in the r44s, plus they have different rollsigns
@@ejdsndnj Yes I know but I mean in the eyes of a normal person .
Ironic memories of where I grew up @ 211th/Isham St & B’way.
Thanks for posting. Missed the R-44’s on my A line
I recently visited NYC, and I saw the transit museum. The R44 was there, too. It was a really cool train.
Nice videos thank you for posting this
Thanks
35:22 Nice way to point out the differences between the two models.
Simple. Look at the stripe. If it has no stripe it’s an R46, if it has a stripe it’s an R44.

I wish they had a retirement run
good video bro! 😎🆒
4:03-4:48 FOAMMMMM!!!
funny seeing you here im watching this after you saw that R44
WHAT THE PHIL YU
Like a train
Someone recorded the R40M in April 2006 with W train
Oh No..., Dat wuz my Favorite Car Model by a Longezt Yearz Right Here Too Tho...!
Dont worry about that. R46 still run today! This is alternative of R44. We will miss you.....rest in peace R44
R44s ?????????
So why are the remaining 4 car set r44 sitting at CI shops?
Cause there either reserved for employees or are waiting to be shipped out to the SIR

Sadly I was unable to see an r44 on the f in 2009
There was one set of R44 on the F line
No it wasn't
Weren’t they on other routes
36:03 R45
If the MTA would have taken better care of the R44’s instead of focusing to make them more advanced, they would probably still be here today.

@@jaydenphilbertmunipals9089 Yes but in very weak condition. Months or years of decay from the acid baths had already doomed the trains.
@@Boypogikami132 But that clearly wasn't a problem as they are running well on the Sirt, some even accepting parts from r46's
Make way
like train
They would have stayed in the system longer if the MTA over hauled them or rebuilt them

They still run on the SIR today
Well until the R211’s take over
She’s being replaced by Baby R211S.
Depressing, I loved these cars and they should have outlasted the R32's.
I can tell the difference
Why doesn't MTA sell their trains after retirement
I DON’T KNOW
