Although I've always been a big fan of the IRT Redbird trains, to me the R38s with their corrugated stainless steel sheaths were the prettiest out of all of NYC's subways, new and old.
They closely resembled the Budd Company built subway trains of the Market Frankford subway line in Philadelphia that was made in 1960 and 1961. But both types had ceiling fans when built. The R38 was built in 1966. I am a New Yorker.
@bortatfantaic thats what I was talking about, the stations. Yes trains are clean but still are fithly especially when you grab the train on a late night.
I remember that time somewhere in late 90s when as an all time construction service the C train run express from 145 St to Canal St making the D local after 145 to 59 St......then evening and weekend service from 168 St to WTC, C would skip only 50 St(while during that time, A was local in Brooklyn)
In their time , they were lemons due to the mechanical equipment, but was fixed several years by the MTA. St. Louis Car Company went bankrupt in 1974 and has been out of business since that year. It doesn't exist.
@@mahinrafi8244 Hey there I remember at times riding on the R32 F trains. People would get confused by it so many times. The F train hasn't been in R32 since 2009 or 2010 to my knowledge.
The R38's were my favorite train car. RIP 2009.
they were soooo ugly
@@DatamasterCorporation Nah. Absolutely beautiful train. I was sad to see em retire. At least we got 2 preserved long live the r38!

@@thetransitguy5594 R32 still looks better
Ahh the good ole R44’s on the A.

great nostalgia! brings back memories. even though i was only 4 at the time
Brings back so many memories, I was 3 at this time but I remember riding the antiquated cars that are no longer in use today.
Wow West 4th Street. This was the stop I got off to go to high school back in the 70s.
I loved the R38s I miss the subway the way it was as a lifelong subway buff I know it's my passion
well, they don't have the ones that run on the C (in the video) train anymore
still have these today

I wish the St. Louis Car Company could build more r44s and I also wish they could run on the E, F, M, and R lines
Theo L.J. Sameeeee and the V was so much better

I knew there would be R46s running on the E. If only there was an R32 running on the f that time
Mahin Rafi there was an r32 f at that time
XxNIGHTFlierX really? All I see is just R46s on the f that time but if someone back then was lucky enough to catch one then yea
