The Subway Cars of the MTA NYC Subway: R1/R9 "Arnine" Cars
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- The R1/R9 subway cars served the NYC Subway for over 40+ years, making history as trains for a brand new system. In this video, I'll be talking about these cars as they would mark their place in the history of the subway cars of the NYC subway! I know that this video isn't flawless, but I'm happy to be introducing new content to this channel. Hope you enjoy our in-depth look at the Arnines!
NEXT VIDEO: R10s

I am the owner of the Restored 978 car that lives in Warwick, New York under a protective roof. It stands as a tribute to all the dreamers that grew up on these wonderful cars. Thank you to the Seashore Trolley Museum for helping me restore the car and reclaiming the original number board and to Joe Korner for helping get in touch with the Museum. Thank you, Tom
Tom Zoufaly, as a transit buff who grew up riding these stalwart, kinda scary-sounding, rattly old classic cars, I'll say you're one very lucky man indeed. Not sure if my roster numbers, but is that an R4 or R6?? First time I ever rode these cars was late 50's with my cousin Jennie. Transferred fr. 15 train @ Essex St to IND D train @ DeLancey St. Scared me to death the way they looked, spartan, utilitarian, bare light bulbs, bare fans, porcelain straps & poles, cletestory vents, and that ominous groaning, roaring, as they accelerated. Not to mention all the weird pneumatic noises...But fell in love with them!! The more I rode them, understood them, and got to know more about them, I fell in love with them. Last time I rode them.was before leaving N.Y. in 1967. Hang on to her if you can!!

@@samburkes7552 thepneum you heard was the air compressors that controlled the brakes and doors. They adjusted automatically according to how many stops were made and the number of times the doors were used. Very well built and lasted a long time as they were in service when I was born until 1977, March 31, unfortunately it was in the morning when I was sleeping and there was no internet. You had to be a member of a rail fan club or a family member of the people whon ran on the J line.
@@luislaplume8261 Luis: Maybe you can answer this mystery query. Why did those pre-war Westinghouse and GE 190hp motors growl, groan, roar all the way up their acceleration ladder of speed buildup?? They were loud too. Scared me at first, then grew accustomed to that monster-like sound. When the motorman let off on the controller, it would go away, since 600volts DC was momentarily stopped. Can you accommodate an answer for me??
@@luislaplume8261 Yes, Luis, knew mostly about those pneumatic sounds, but it's the traction motor sounds I'd like to know about..See my following question..Trying to find an answer after 60 plus yrs..!
@@samburkes7552 Yes I can accommodate you! When the train is running to the speed limit allowed for the track , the motorman does not advance the accelerator at all so that he can stop the train safely into the station. Back in the 1960s , my family sometimes took the F train to Radio City Music Hall at the Van Wyck station. It switched to the express track into the next station ahead for the platform was in between the local and express track . It won't express from there and made only a few stops. In half an hour after boarding the F train we reached 47th st. Radio City Music Hall to see the movie being played. Believe me the nose was deafening and the speed was astounding. I am a New Yorker who grew up there. Back in the roaring 1960s in the Mad Men TV series era. Also in that time most adults smoked a lot and hard liquor was served daily in restaurants. The TV series was very accurate. Thank you!
I remember the R-1/9s very well. They were quite literally music to my ears.
I have been trying to find a series that shows each MTA subway cars and its history as a video (not on wiki). And now i have finally found it. Thank you Adam Mars
The Seashore Trolley Museum has been very instrumental in refurbishing and restoring car 978. It lives happily restored under a protective roof in Warwick, New York. It stands, and remains a tribute to all the enthusiasts that dream of owning a car like this. I bought this from the person who stored this car for the Goldens Deli in Staten Island and I am very happy to hear that it was remembered in your videos. Joe Corner is the man responsible for putting me in touch with the Seashore Trolley Museum. Thank you Joe and thanks for the shout out. Tom
Wow that was one of the best videos I've seen on these trains. I just love them as they are my favorite series. Excellent job giving the entire history of these amazing trains.
I actually saw the Arnine #103 in the Coney Island Yard one random day in February this year (2024), along with several others and a collection of R160s.
This series gained you a new subscriber. Glad to find your channel.
Rode these cars to and from high school every day! Much better than the R-10s that also ran on the A train. None of the newer cars compare to the ORIGINALS. Great video, and I' all be able to watch it any time. I know there are a couple of these at the Transit Museum. That place will always be home to all of the cars that run on the New York City transit sysyem.
The R1 to 9s are one of my favorite subway cars.
Love this video, can’t wait to see more of these videos.
This has been one of the most informative and precise videos on the transit authorities rolling stock that I ever seen before , well done and thank you so very much for sharing it with us all 👍
This video is so cool. Thanks for making this, I've been looking all over for videos like these. So informative and interesting. Keep up the great work!
This was a great informative video I’m an Arnine fan myself and own a brass number plate from # 1565
Very well made. Hyped for the next one!
This is a Very interesting history video of the R1/R9 id would love to see this series more!
Thank you for an informative, fact filled video on the R-1/ R-9 class subway trains. My first subway fan trip was on a set of these cars around 1980, and I have rode on these veterans on different fan trips since 1980. I'm looking forward to you video on the R-10's. The last time I rode on those trains was in the summer of 1989. A train was used in the introduction of the 1985 TV special Motown Returns to the Apollo. They were painted in the olive-green color of their predecessors, the R-1/ 9 class.
Your video is terrific I love all the details and images you provided, looking forward to more of your videos, Kudos
Very cool! And informative, Thankyou
Great video. I are in the car at Golds Deli on Staten Island. I wish it was still there. Good work!
Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏. These cars are dear to my heart... I'm so sorry that the two revenue trains were scrapped, darn! There were two other R 1 to R 9 that were forgotten: The Water Pumper train & The Garbage Motor! The pumper is in The New York City Transit Museum. The garbage motor survived after the 1977 retirement of the fleets. I spotted it in the BRONX running on the middle track on The D Train Grand Concourse at River Avenue, 161st Street Yankee Stadium in the 1980's sounding like the old fleets. At first I thought I was hearing things but no doubt about it what it was at that time. It was featured in the book: Building Of The Independent , another favorite : Under The Sidewalks Of New York. I'm definitely tuning for the R 10 video presentation.That's my second favorite cars after the R 1 to R 9 cars! The R 16 as well! 😆Thanks for presenting this video. 👏👏👏👏👏🚞👍👍🚃🚃
I love the sign on car 381 at 9:30. A train Bahamas Express
Wow okay, MTA's very own Amtrakguy over here, lmao, very nice video!
Thank you for the video.
I can't wait for another one
Great video!!
I remember the R9 on the LL train on the 8th Ave line . They had those rope straps and some of the seats had leather backseat cushions where some were hard knit plus the ceiling fans I rode it in 71 both to and from a trip when I was in daycare and to the hospital (Lutheran Hospital)
R6-R9 cars were sent to the BMT Eastern Division in the summer of 1969 to replace the remaining BMT AB Standard cars that had been running there for several decades. The last of them ran in regular service on March 31, 1977.
Very cool inspiration video history from those 'Engines of' series but never done of NY subway cars. I'm also always interested in NY subway cars, their history, its art but I'm from Brooklyn and making designs art in NYC Transit styles.
this is great and different
Feels like an actual R40 Slant is talking to me! =)
Thank you for doing this Mr. Mars also I would love to see you do another one. The Arnines are my favorite as long with the R46 do you think you can do this for the R46?
I will, but I still need to go through the R10-R44 classes.
Very Nice!! Car 978.
Cool
Nice intro!
It would be nice in the future of solutions of making Subwaycars of this profile for the IND line comebacks maybe for upcoming years to redevelope trains build in the USA with proper measurements and put WiFi into them and other features as well as the tech trains too!
The markers were red, yellow, green, and white. No blue was ever used on marker lights on subway and elevated trains,
Rip to 1
R1/9 1933-1979.
Perhaps you cóuld eliminate the musical background when delívering dialogue; it's a bit of a dístraction! Otherwise very interesting video¡ I remember those cars! Thanks!
I had a little trouble keeping up with the narration between the music and how fast the narrator spoke but otherwise I enjoyed it very much. Good job!
THE LAST TIME I RODE THOSE SUBWAY CARS WERE IN THE EARLY TO MID EIGHTIES
MTA: ehhh we don't need these anymore
MTA years later: ILL BE TAKING THAT BACK!!
I HAD TO OPERATE R1/9 CARS AS A CONDUCTOR & MOTORMAN. MAYBE NICE FOR U AS PASSENGERS, BUT FOR ME IT WAS HORRIBLE. AS A C/R, UP & DOWN BEDFORD PARK TO CONY ISLAND WAS EXAUSTING. AS A MOTORMAN IT WAS WORSE. I COULD ONLY GET A 50 POUND BRAKE, BUT ONLY 25 POUNDS AT A TIME.IT HAD TO BE PUT IN LAP POSITION BEFORE GETTING THE NEXT 25 LBS. WORSE, THE BRAKES WERE STEEL ON STEEL. ( NO DYNAMIC BRAKE). I SPENT FIVE MINUTES BLOWING STEEL DUST OUT OF MY NOSE AFTER GETTING TO END TERMINAL. TYPICAL 10 CAR TRAIN COULD HAVE 3 DEAD MOTORS. MABEY GREAT FOR PASSENGERS WITH GOOD MEMORIES, AS I HAVE AS A PASSENGER, BUT BAD TO OPERATE.
I OPERATED THEM AT 23 YEARS OLD IN 1967 TO 1990s
RETIRED C/R, M/M, M/M INSTRUCTOR--TSS
Love learning about the Arnines. Too bad 1208 wasn’t saved as it would have been the only R6-2. Who was responsible anyway?
Can you do the R40S next
I was actually gonna do the nycta trains but you took it so i will do engines of NJ transit or LIRr or MNRR
Are you doing metro north? I wanna do lirr lol
@Shitty Gayming ik this was like 5 months who are you
When is the next video comming
Very informative but the "background" music was annoying.
When's the next video coming
Engines of MTA
Can someone answer this frustrating question...... Why in the world do some people don't realize that the trains that run here in NYC isn't called MTA subway. It's called New York City Transit. I get sick and tired of listening to the news on TV and hearing them say "The MTA subway running on time, the New Jersey Transit got some delays Bla Bla Bla line. The Long Island RR running close to schedule and the Metro North RR running on a Saturday schedule"........... Now what's wrong with what I just said??? I'll tell you if you don't know. New York City transit does not owned the name MTA!!!!!! It's called New York city transit!!!!! Just like the MTA's Long island railroad is called Long island railroad!!!! Most New Yorkers are clueless, they don't know that Long Island railroad and Metro North Railroad is part of MTA also. They think it's only the Subway, which is really New York city transit. Smh it's so frustrating.
Agreed MTA New York City Transit. But since MTA is just the logo that most see first they won't bother saying the rest. GOD FORBID they would be told to say MTA in full words. 🤣🤣
When the r10 video coming out?
Someday, when I ever start working on it.
@@adammars1438 okay

I would’ve been able to make the next one if I wasn’t working 6 days a week. But that’s no excuse for a video like this to be honest.
