I rode these in 1964 when they had their blue and white interiors and grabhandles. These trains withstood the grueling test of time of the NYC subways. Till the very end they looked great and got me to work on time. The R32s will be missed by us railfans.
And they were filthy disgusting then, just like they are today, just a million times worse. LMMFAO, can’t wait to see what kind of liberal stench the new subway cars will be bestowed with. 😂😂😂
So glad that I got the chance to ride the Redbirds when I was a kid in the late 90s. And my first memory of riding the r32 was when I was riding them with my my mother on the C line when we lived in Washington heights. It’s crazy that as old as those cars were, they still had great AC.
So sad to see the legendary R32s go but nothing lasts forever. These trains were a really big part of my childhood. Since I’ve been living near the A and C lines since I was born, theres a good chance I spent some time aboard an R32 whenever I took the subway. Today I still take the A and C trains and it just doesn’t feel the same. I really miss the front Railfan window on these trains too. I have so many memories of when I would look out of it and pretend I was driving the train. Those were great days…
OMG 😳😳 those gorgeous MTA train 🚃 cars for sure I as a MTA passanger ride those gorgeous MTA cars every day I'll miss them for sure they're beautiful and comfortable to when I'm in there 😢😢🚃🚃!
They delivered the same way they end their service life. These are the last trains before me. I was born 5/16/1970. My favorite cars were the R38s; a model similar to these cars.
I know there was a pair there in 2009 when I last visited (3352-3353). Hopefully, a few more will be preserved. I wish they would restore them to their 1964 appearance (blue doors and that great 60s TA logo).
I saw the R32 layover at CSX Dewitt yard for 4 days and I took photos and videos on the last week of December 2022 and New Year's eve no rush to get to Ashtabula, Ohio I already put in youtube.
Gee wonder what happens when you move jobs to China and force women to have unwanted babies. You think it’s bad just wait 20 years. Going to be much worse.
@@tristanexists1806 Ok. Let me elaborate as simple as possible. The front of the R40 slant looks like the face of Megatron from revenge of the fallen. Did you watch any of the transformers movies?
Instead of sending them to a recycling plant, Just strip them and then dump them into the ocean to be turned into coral reefs they had done this before with NYC subway cars
Cannot erase the old New York of the phone booth and these beautiful Subway cars. I cannot stand modern things because they are so fake. Why are they scrapping these model cars if they are so good, like the reporter mentioned?
It aggravates me to see these serviceable R-32 Budd cars being trashed. Knowing how the MTA loves to trash things, why did they bother to remove the trucks? Don't tell me they actually plan to use them for something else or for spare parts. That would be too sensible. I miss being able to watch WPIX Channel 11. And I miss watching Greg Mocker, which I did for many years. I miss the Channel 11 News at Ten, which I watched every night. The jerks at Comcast removed WPIX from our cable TV line-up down here in Southern New Jersey, for no reason and with no warning, about two years ago. They're good at raising prices and taking channels away. We get lots of useless shopping network channels that nobody watches and there are over a dozen religious channels. They even had the gall to remove Turner Classic Movies. No amount of pleading with Comcast does any good. Oh yes, you can get Turner Classic Movies if you pay for a sports package that's of no interest to me. As it is, I pay over $ 170 dollars a month for a bare-bones minimal line-up. Complaining to the N. J. Board of Public Utilities is totally useless. They told me that they've had dozens of complaints and there is nothing they can do. They actually suggested that I get a satellite dish....I kid you not !!
What needs to happen is get rid of the crusty old dirty trains they keep running on the 3 A & C lines those trains will still be in service 10yrs from now they’ll keep putting screws in the floor & patching the seats with bathroom sealant 🤷🏽♂️🤣

I'm truly sorry for your lost. Rip.
"got me to work on time." - Perhaps back then, but not today. It is very unlikely with the NYC subways due to always people causing problems.
I remember when the R-32s were new. In fact, my very first subway ride was on a shiny new R-32 N train on July 21, 1965.

I saw this when I was a kid in like 2014/15 or something u not that old
I rode on the 4 and 6 lines
They don't make A/C like they used to!
NO
Ride In Peace to R32 1964 - 2022. Thankx to train operators who operated the R32.

I am sure that there are old videos of them on YT
Nothing last forever! Makes me want to cry, cry cry.
So many memories with these cars, I'm sure going to miss the sound they make when leaving the station
Ikr sad to see them go along the Orion 7
Yeah memories like gang violence, bums stinking up the train and rapes

wish we could retire and recycle half the MTA administrators.
I agree
RIP to the original MTA trains in NYC. 😩
This is so sad to see, the R32s will always be an icon of the NYCTA.
I rode the R32's from 1964 until now. Born 1964 and proud of it.
Very cool to see my brother at the beginning of the video. He works at that train yard in sunset park.
It was great growing up with the R32s, the (A) line will never be the same anymore without it, rip!
damn
Mostly the (C)
Would like to see video of how they recycle these. Hope someone records it in Ohio for us!
It’s the same yard in Ohio that is scrapping Metro-North cars. In fact, this is being done on the Metro-North contract.
Man, i'll never get the experience my uncle did before I was born😔
They should set these in a designated safe spot to park or set on ground for people to paint on
R32s were an all time gem classic
Keep in mind one car would still be around for the transit museum
I know there was a pair there in 2009 when I last visited (3352-3353). Hopefully, a few more will be preserved. I wish they would restore them to their 1964 appearance (blue doors and that great 60s TA logo).
@@transitfan954 i heard there is 1 whole set preserved now
One of my favorite memories in the subway was on an R32 and sadly it was the last time I was ever on one
It's sad to see these trains go but everything has its end.
They are transported by barge. And when the R32 was built, it had high speed ceiling fans.
Sad. I greatly miss them. It's not the same being a railfan.
Amen, newer vehicles in general just lack the charm of the old ones :/
Sadly I never got to ride in any of these carts.. I missed something huge..
I remember always taking the a c e trains on the r32s even taking the f train to coney Island I'm gonna miss them
How odd it would be to be at a RR crossing somewhere between NY and Ohio and see ones old train cars go by.
The channel 'Wide World of Trains" caught one going by in upstate NY. ruclips.net/video/1gJYv928XvM/видео.html

I grew up with the RedBirds 😊
On the 💚4💚
Me on the #6 !
I been rode R32 cars on the C train for the first time in early July 2019 during my vacation.
The A and the C line now sucks
The A and C is getting new trains and 8th Avenue is getting CBTC, to improve service on the A and C.
It always has been, with and without these cars.
the red bird was the first train I rode on when I was a kid
I wish I had enough money to buy one. I could preserve it
Its hard to think that this could happen
The F on the rollsign, F to pay respects to the r32
I wished they at least made newer cars called like R34s or sum like that for people to look out through the front & back windows
They wanna make money off the stainless steel instead of dumping it in the water is all😑
Shipping them to Ohio at what Cost?
Three Fitty... Hahahahah LMAO@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish I can buy one of those subway car but I don’t think it’s possible
I said the same for a slinky bus ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you get a couple 100 thousand dollars than yeah you can buy it
@@tristanexists1806 maybe if I go buy a lotto ticket
You can't afford it anyway lol.
Exactly how I feel with old trolleybuses 😭😭
If they can give me their doors, I will be the happiest man alive
Best thing your gonna get is a number plate I reckon
@@tristanexists1806 or the rollsigns
Hope we could get rid of crime the same way
This is the know go Jayson Williams.... hahahha
Gee wonder what happens when you move jobs to China and force women to have unwanted babies. You think it’s bad just wait 20 years. Going to be much worse.
These jokes are old.
Any being preserved?
They should've just sold the cars to people so that they can interact with it forever
Are they recycling them in to making newer. subway car?
Are there still any more R32s?
Remember these tin cans well. 🌈 Especially on the N TRAIN..
Wow neat 🙂👍👍👍
😭😭😭 Don’t leave me. Megatron left me. (R40 slant)
I'm so confused with this comment ????
@@tristanexists1806 Ok. Let me elaborate as simple as possible. The front of the R40 slant looks like the face of Megatron from revenge of the fallen. Did you watch any of the transformers movies?
@@kingofthelight8260 I have not sadly watch any of the Transformers movies
It would seem like all the spray paint would make the cars a toxic hazard.
I wonder if mta in the near future can a similar design to r32
Saw it on PiX TV news
Instead of sending them to a recycling plant, Just strip them and then dump them into the ocean to be turned into coral reefs they had done this before with NYC subway cars
And if you were paying attention, you would have heard in the report that they don't last very long in the water!
@@sarge6870 most underwater wrecks in the Atlantic are still intact
Nah that's a bad idea, Just send them to museums
@@thetrainguy500 There are probably some at museums
Cannot erase the old New York of the phone booth and these beautiful Subway cars. I cannot stand modern things because they are so fake. Why are they scrapping these model cars if they are so good, like the reporter mentioned?
I say fix them up and convert then into homes for homeless folks
It's already there home.

😔 That's all I have to say about that!
I want to see what about preservation of R32 instead... 😢
some of them are preserved now
Hope they will be remade again in the far future... 2064?
Doubt it
So the Redbirds was a waste
Drop them in front of the shores to slow down tides and storm and erosion
Only if they can give #3405 & #3400 to me
Create reefs. Lmao yea ok. More like dumping. That’s a big fine in nyc for littering
They been doing this like the Redbirds it turns into a reef over time
Have you never heard of artificial reefs buddy
You probably haven't bud
They could actually be refurbished into housing for the homeless
What needs to happen is get rid of the crusty old dirty trains they keep running on the 3 A & C lines those trains will still be in service 10yrs from now they’ll keep putting screws in the floor & patching the seats with bathroom sealant 🤷🏽♂️🤣
They already ordered new trains to replace the A/C trains. They're do to start this September.
The R62s on the 3 are doing well, I ridden won a while ago and it was completely fine.
Should just put it on an island and let the homeless live in it lol
Bye!
Too damn dangerous
These jokes are getting too old.
Pelham 123
O
Good ventilation for homeless stench
