Brightliners at Rockefeller by amtraknortheast1 Via Flickr: MTA New York City Subway Budd R32 3894 pauses briefly at 47-50 Streets-Rockefeller Center. After roughly 56 years of service (the transit museum will tell you 58 as the final run is occurring in 2022), the Budd R32 “Brightliners” are finally receiving a sendoff following their initial retirement from passenger operations in October 2020. Operating as a D train, the farewell train will continue down a branch of the IND 6th Avenue Line that will lead it to 7th Avenue station on 53rd Street before finally merging with the IND 8th Avenue line at 59th Street-Columbus Circle. 3894 displays a wreath on its front end, doubling as a sort of holiday special. This is the 2nd of 4 sundays of retirement runs, with the final run occurring Sunday, January 9, 2022 on the Q between Brighton Beach and 96th Street.
It’s a shame.
If I go back to NYC, now I’ll have nothing to wash my clothes against.
#SubwaySunday 🚇 The corrugated stainless-steel R32 "Brightliner" subway car - first introduced in 1964. The new cars were 4,000 pounds lighter than previous models, featured improved rollsigns, clearer intercoms, plastic seats (previously they were wicker), with a more open feel for passengers. The cars were manufactured by Budd Company in Philadelphia who built 600 cars in '64 and '65 at a cost of $69 million. When the R32 was first released it looked completely different than its predecessors, paving the way for future all-steel designs. Today the R32s are the oldest subway cars in service, more than extending their 35-year lifespan, older than any metro system in the country and one of the oldest in the world. Most of the cars were replaced in the late 2000s with only 222 remaining in 2017 which, today are limited to the A/C line. Retired cars were scrapped for steel or stripped and sunk as artificial reefs, a program which ended in 2010. Once a shining example of modern engineering, today the cars break down more often than any other in the system averaging only 33,527 miles between failures. The average subway car can last 400,000 miles with the newest pushing more than 750,000 miles before breaking down. The R32 is the only car that predates the MTA, as it was first ordered for the NYC Transit Authority. The @nytransitmuseum has a pair of R32's from their inaugural 1964 trip into Grand Central in their vintage train collection. #subway #r32 #r32brightliner #brightliner #railfan #nycsubway #r32subway #transithistory #atrain #ctrain #neworksubway #nychistory #urbanism #brooklyn #manhattan #nyc #nycurbanism (at New York Transit Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtJtrzulZ6n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gjvi378uhplv

In the realms of rail-transit, certain vehicles survive in revenue service much longer than others. When I was growing up, antique streetcars on Philadelphia’s Red Arrow Lines, and old Lackawanna multiple units were among the oldest cars around. When exploring the New York City Subway at the end of June with Walter Zullig, Jack May and my father, I made point of photographing the Budd-built class…
