They will be greatly missed. I was able to get my last video and pic of a R42 at Broadway Junction. I knew after the train left I would never see another R42 L.
i will never get used to the new trains....i grew up on these R38's R40's and R42's. hate to see them go...and i miss the redbirds that i used to ride... Flushing Main st...
R160s do not have automated door closing; the TO and conductor controls everything. The conductors look at the cameras if available to check no one's stuck, or they'd pull the brakes.
they also have R143 on the L which are a little bit older than the R160, but anyways ur right the R42's, all old train models in general are the best, tose new trains just break down all the time, if it not the computer, its the propulsion and many other things, like my friend, a train operator says "old is good"
Look at the sides of the car - riffles. R42s have wider riffles and less of the "waves" while R40s have more of them because they are much smaller. The front could be the same, but I recognize the R40Ms (not slant) from riffles.
I remember when the L had r40s. I happen to see them once since I barely take the L or knew about it when I was young. Just so happens I was walking on a L platform to transfer to another train and saw r40s
R32 Brightliners same. Imagine we saw R40M/slants and R42 running on the L in 2020. That’d be rare. But sadly, R40M and R40 slant are scrapped ;-;. And I believe the R42 is scrapped to ;-;
you never know we thought there would never be another R62 on the Pelham line after 2002 and look now out of 46 trains only 10 R142s left so never say never
Thomas Ponzio well that's because of the r188 on the 7 line. Those r62 trains are from the 7 hence the digital signage you see on the windows. The r62 has not been retired
@junjun798 this tells you never cars have a lot more components in them that need some fine tuning. it's called progress. and frankly R143s and R160s have a much higher MTBF than a lot of these older trains...
they are using BOTH R160s and R143s, they use the R143s more because the R143s only have the Ltrain map inside of them. The J,M,and Z trains use the same R160s as the Ltrain and they are stored in the East New York yards and Canarsie yards.
The R42 fleet is not being retired Yet. They just removed the 2 R42 sets from the L line and put 2 R160 sets to get rid of the R42s. The 2 sets of R42s will go to which ever yard can use them. They will prolly be moved to the J/M/Z lines. Soon your going to see R160s on the J/M/Z lines. Soon the R42s are going to be removed from the J/M/Z and replaced by R160s and the 42 fleet will be scrapped. Railfan as much as possible now because these R160s are replacing alot of trains.
Nope. Back in the day the R143s ran OPTO service on the weekends. Then the OPTO service was replaced by R160s. Then shortly there after they started running R160s weekdays, and phased out the R42s.
@irishany no they're adding more cars on the L line because between 2002-2005 the whole line overcrowded during rush hour and there isn't enough R143s to handle all those people
@MrTransman99 The R1s were scrapped and replaced by other trains. The redbird trains might bave been scrapped and have been replaced by the R62 and R62A. Now the R62 and R62A may be also replaced, but by the R142 and R142A.
These trains are still on the J/M/Z. They just took the last 2 that operated the L Line during rush hours. However, they won't be on the J/M/Z for too much longer because of the POS R160s.
I know There Still A few R42's On The (J) & (Z) Lines. But By Early 2017 The R42 (J) & (Z) Trains Are Next To Be Gone. They Will Be Getting Replaced By R160's & Newer R179's.
all R42 are only running on (J)(Z) lines . The R32 are mainly running on the (c) But 2 sets run on the (A) and 1 set runs on the (B) and (F) . Also the 1 set that ran on the (V) is most likely going to be scraped. Also the r68s no longer run on the (Q) as its 100% r160 . Those R68s got moved to the (N). Also all r44 are planed to be scraped along with he r42s in 2015.
@Swanton22 Wow man thank you for the info, very informative. So we're gonna have 5 more years with them, thats good ill be able to enjoy them for a little while longer. Now the begining of the phasing out of the R44's is the most surprising to be honest. Those cars look like they can go another 20 or so more years, they look practically new even though yeah they are closing in on around 40 years. I never liked how the MTA does away with old but still very reliable cars for non needed new ones.
Well they are not getting rid of R42s yet thank god but they have removed the last 2 from the L line. Soon the R160s will replace all R38s, Slant R40s, and G.E rebuilt R32s. They will all be scrapped.
idiot you can’t do that the r160s and the r143s on the L are compatible for the L only because they use CBTC and r40 and r42s are retired use your common sense
@Swanton22 Nah the Broadway lines (mainly the R) still run a few but very hard to spot. The even harder one to find them on though, or maybe they did finally take them all out, are the E and F lines havent seen an R42 on there in a while.
The R42 Dominates the J/M/Z lines. How do you say you like them on the Q anyway? lmao. You don't see R42 operating on the Q, very rare. You MIGHT see one or two in a set of R40Ms. You do however see some R42s operate the N line. But if you want to see alot of R42, go over to the J/M/Z. They run all the time on there and those are the only trains you see if you like them alot :)
It's sad to not see these cars on the L again. This was my childhood. Now we have to deal with R160 alstom trains being on the L. AND ALSTOM 160's ARE THE FUCKING WORST! They should have put the Siemens on the L rather than the alstom.....
While I like the design of all the NTTs, the more tributes to retiring cars I watch, the more bitter I get. The IRT had sealed its own fate with the reefing of the Redbirds, but the IND and BMT cars R38 and up that retired disappeared in my lifetime! My largest fear is never riding the R42s in memory! Maybe I have, but I am still concerned. I remember going on the R32, but not on an R42☹️
Your wrong. And you think I don't know how to tell the difference between a R143 and R160? LOL Dude, the R160s and R143s run on the same line. There are not enough R143s to cover the whole line so they had some 42s running and they replaced the 42s with R160s. Get your facts straight.
R.I.P R42 L trains 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
R32s and also R42s are still hauling Miss them on the L R.I.P :(
the reason why they are aliveis because of the 2s
+Wally Alston The R42s Are Still Here Because Of The R32s.
Btw the R32s never ran on the L
@@mahinrafi8244 it actually did from 1966-1987
Christopher Dobson Those were R30s
the L is my line, man i miss these piss-smelling trains.
They will be greatly missed. I was able to get my last video and pic of a R42 at Broadway Junction. I knew after the train left I would never see another R42 L.
NewYorker424 yep. They sure will be missed
And greatly loved😭😭
Actually it is being replaced by R143s You would see them on the L most of the time
The r143s been around since 2002. This is a 2006-2007 video..
But r143s replaced the r40s I believe and some r42s the r160 replace the remaining r42s on the l line
Now this is impossible. The L line, if I'm not wrong, is automated now, and R42s do not have CBTC equipment.
its r143 as well... not just r160
R42's STILL BREATHING
R42 is only in certain services now some r42s been replaced by the R179 lemon trains
i will never get used to the new trains....i grew up on these R38's R40's and R42's. hate to see them go...and i miss the redbirds that i used to ride... Flushing Main st...
It would never forget R42 in my entire life.
I remember these trains I took them in 2004,2005 some days in 2006,2007 on the m and l as well and 2008 and 2009,lastly😭😭😭😭
I missed the R42s as well and the other trains the R32 and others like the R1 I’ll miss the R42s on the L line :(((
I blame the MTA they wanted R143s running on the L line They thought the R42 on the L line was to old
There are now R32's running on the J/Z line and now most of the J/Z line is part old equipment now 42's and 32's
classics train of R42s on the L, I used to take that a lot.
R160s do not have automated door closing; the TO and conductor controls everything. The conductors look at the cameras if available to check no one's stuck, or they'd pull the brakes.
there are still some R42s on the J and Z Lines
That will be discontinued in 2018!! FU**********!!!!!!
Arif Akyuz 2019 now and their still there😂
Theo L.J. Lol what? There’s nothing wrong with the NTTs. XD
Not after February 2020.
R40 Slants on the Canarsie Line were cool.
Until the R160/143 took over😡😡😡😡😡
R.I.P. R42 L Train
I RODE YOU R42, YOU WERE SO FUN LOOKING ON FRONT OF THE WINDOW, YOU BROUGHT SO MUCH MEMORIES FRIEND RIP R42 FRIENDS :(
The R42 (L) Train Got Been Replaced By R160A's And R143's Since 2007.
Good times I been to an R42 L train in 2005 so thanks for uploading this
That's true, it's bad enough some conductors don't have courtesy to open the door if you're stuck.
they also have R143 on the L which are a little bit older than the R160, but anyways ur right the R42's, all old train models in general are the best, tose new trains just break down all the time, if it not the computer, its the propulsion and many other things, like my friend, a train operator says "old is good"

In roblox The H train R42s are from the L train ones since the L is fully R143s
I remember when the L had r40s. I happen to see them once since I barely take the L or knew about it when I was young. Just so happens I was walking on a L platform to transfer to another train and saw r40s
The train is gone for ever and will never be forgotten
I hope that R42 4572-4573 will be preserved, because it was used in the chasing scenes in The French Connection.
R42s on the L will never be forgotten R.I.P R42 L
I Want To See The R42's On The (L) & (M) Lines Again.
R32 Brightliners same. Imagine we saw R40M/slants and R42 running on the L in 2020. That’d be rare. But sadly, R40M and R40 slant are scrapped ;-;. And I believe the R42 is scrapped to ;-;

Theo L.J. Why would you not want to ride an R160? And don’t say the propulsion system because regular commuter DONT CARE.
R40m is still running on the J line
R40M's retired. You mean R42s.
Yeah that subway car sorry
I'm an MTA expert and I know the names of the subway cars between the 1969's-2010
Roberto Garcia
Cool. But R40M's are not in service anymore.
Roberto Garcia
Oh yeah R32's are still in service as well.
There are no more R42s :(
@junjun798 this tells you never cars have a lot more components in them that need some fine tuning. it's called progress. and frankly R143s and R160s have a much higher MTBF than a lot of these older trains...
Gonna miss riding those R42s
im also gonna miss the R40s being on them
SO MUCH ITS ON THE TOP 10 OF MOST RODE TRAINS BY ITSELF
R42s STILL BREATHING
they are using BOTH R160s and R143s, they use the R143s more because the R143s only have the Ltrain map inside of them. The J,M,and Z trains use the same R160s as the Ltrain and they are stored in the East New York yards and Canarsie yards.
Just to update you guys, R42s are now extinct from the L Line. 3 R160As replaced the 2 R42s. RIP R42s, you will be greatly missed.
NewYorker424 mm hm😞
And greatly loved
These ran in the (M) to. RIP
R.I.P R42 L train
They used the r143 before r160
And now all remaining r42s are officially gone....
the R38's were the best I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS. The R46 improved after the GTO.
1:18-1:42 Ive never seen those kinds of R42s. And plus those double LL signs too. cool.
1:18-1:42?
R42 is officially retired now since February 2020.
Cool video. I subscribed your channel. Keep it good work
all r42 are gone i think the first line to lose them was the m line
No also they run on the A B C D E F G L R V W J and Z line
I wish the R42's still ran on the L. I don't understand why they took them off the L and why the R42s still run on the J/Z?
I Miss The R42s On The (L) & (M) Lines.
thecooltrainguy They need to take the R42s off the L for CBTC service. As for the J/Z, I don’t know.
The R42s are the blood line of the J line
The R42 fleet is not being retired Yet. They just removed the 2 R42 sets from the L line and put 2 R160 sets to get rid of the R42s. The 2 sets of R42s will go to which ever yard can use them. They will prolly be moved to the J/M/Z lines. Soon your going to see R160s on the J/M/Z lines. Soon the R42s are going to be removed from the J/M/Z and replaced by R160s and the 42 fleet will be scrapped. Railfan as much as possible now because these R160s are replacing alot of trains.
RIP Rail Fan windows Frowns. So few now.
I like the music
R42:welp I’m gonna leave this line
R160 and R143:we will take over
You forgot the R40S and R40M they also ran with the R42s on the L
Nope. Back in the day the R143s ran OPTO service on the weekends. Then the OPTO service was replaced by R160s. Then shortly there after they started running R160s weekdays, and phased out the R42s.

Screw that! Now I will never visit an R42 in my lifetime!!! FUU************************
Jenny Court they still have it on mid-late 2017

If you think about R160's are computer automated which is not good if you think about it.
The only R40 is the last time for the R40

RIP R42 L
R143s run on the L line now.
hmm, you're right, i took the j train the other day and it was r42's, according to wikipedia they (and the r32's) stay until the r179's come in 2017
Well they are not getting rid of R42s yet thank god but they have removed the last 2 from the L line. Soon the R160s will replace all R38s, Slant R40s, and G.E rebuilt R32s. They will all be scrapped.
Here a thing. PUT R160/R143 FROM THE L TO THE A B C D E F G N Q AND W SO THAT R42s R40M and R40 SLANTS COME BACK TO THE L
idiot you can’t do that the r160s and the r143s on the L are compatible for the L only because they use CBTC and r40 and r42s are retired use your common sense
R42: Goodbye MTA, I miss you
Yup. Also why DT ignored u that u don’t leak models anymore
Because he thinks I use Kevin R42 in my game but I don't
@official Acemaster5594 Do you have a R42 in your games?
@@josecontreras8468 No, I don't
@official Acemaster5594 oh, but that’s dumb
@Swanton22 Nah the Broadway lines (mainly the R) still run a few but very hard to spot. The even harder one to find them on though, or maybe they did finally take them all out, are the E and F lines havent seen an R42 on there in a while.
thats not 100% true they still use the R42's on the J a lot especially durring rush hour
Total 15 of R42 is saved
Good
Any A Divison car can fit in the B division there will just be a gap between the platform and train.
The R42 Dominates the J/M/Z lines. How do you say you like them on the Q anyway? lmao. You don't see R42 operating on the Q, very rare.

You forgot all about the R143 that has Bombardier MITAC Propulsión
+The MTA NJT AMTRAK SEPTA PATH MBTA TTC (GO VGCP Fan 2016) I know... They have nice sounds. Not the Alstom R160s tho. Just no.....
Nice Job For Doing The Tribute To The R62A (7) Trains.
While I like the design of all the NTTs, the more tributes to retiring cars I watch, the more bitter I get.

UnitedStatesOfEmbarrassment10018 Why? Those Alstom R160s are the only cars in 4-car configurations. Do you know how the subway works?
now there no more on the R or V
And A and C lines
And D and m and J lines
in japan a train call １０３系 that entered service in 1969 was retired today so r42 is later
I Know That The (J) (L) (Z) Train Have R143's
R42 Fan The R143’a only run on hose three lines since there the eastern division
too bad they must go, soon the r160 will have to be retired also
oh shit really cool thanks!
Even sadder cause the R42 are retiring in 2020
Rip R42 on the (L) =C
No they do not. On the weekends you see R40Ms which look very similar to R42s. On weekends R68s and R40Ms are ran on the Q.
Does any body know where the R32s and the R42s are and if so how many are left?
Yes, but now all J trains have been converted to R160's, so the Z is the only train left utilizing R42's
The J and Z share trains
To show what replaced it.
Watching this is 2023 Jesus time has flew by
The R42 doesn't operate the Q, Only R68s.
R42 L aren't replaced by R160s, it is R143s
Actually yes they did only 5-6 sets the r160s replaced
you wanna test it?
I was not born yet
0:05 😭
R42 (L) Train R"I"P 1969-2007.

R40 Slant (L) Train R"I"P 1968-2003.
I was born in 2007
Tristan Bravo R40 Slants never touched the L or any eastern division lines until the 90s
thats the reason they put R68 on the W agian
About 10 years ago the the r40/m and r38 retired.
With the slant
❤🥰
Your wrong. And you think I don't know how to tell the difference between a R143 and R160? LOL
Dude, the R160s and R143s run on the same line. There are not enough R143s to cover the whole line so they had some 42s running and they replaced the 42s with R160s. Get your facts straight.
