We will never forget you redbird You will always be in our hearts rip

[@LisaDoss63]

They are still servicing, just the fish now!! They were beautiful, wish I'd lived back then. Seems like a simplier life.

[@killajakez]

I rode them throughout my childhood. I remember them being loud, especially on express runs where it would reach higher speeds. Last time was around my last year of high school in 2003. I remember them just disappearing, I wasn't aware that they were all gone until a few years later.

[@caroperes4437]

Maybe the sound of the train is the reason they’re getting scrapped or maybe it’s because they’re just old

[@amandamarcelle2572]

So they stopped using them around the early 2000s wow I think I remember seeing a red train when I was 4 years old around that time

[@Co_hesive]

Amanda Marcelle my sister when she was young she used to film trains and she saw a lot of Redbirds but after the stop using them she stop filming them her favorite train was the Redbirds

[@noobtheoriginal]

They went out of service in 2003, with the last trip on the (7) on November 3rd of that year.

[@bukasb]

[@Fania54]

I rode these bad boys every day on the #7 line in the mid 80's. They were quiet, cool, comfortable, and relatively reliable, other than occasional door issues, quickly resolved by RCI's. I knew they were not as new and shiney as the cars on the IND line, but I liked them better anyway.......RIP Redbirds!

That time I was a baby when I rode it now I am 10. EDIT: I am now 12, I am thinking this video. I still miss you Redbirds… you were legendary to the Subways.

@@Katrielle_Going_To_Quebec If MTA Thought Twice before Scrapping and Sending them into the ocean, They Could refurbish it somehow... Refurbishment always Gives the 2nd Life to the old Units

[@Katrielle_Going_To_Quebec]

@@poznanskiszybkowiec_official I actually don't live in New York, I actually live in Montreal. So I'm not too familiar with the MTA. But I can say that in our subway when we retired our old subway cars "MR-63" in June of 2018, we don't put them in the water because they were not built to be outside, some are actually bought by companies to be transformed into other stuff and some are just scraped. Although one is preserved in a museum. Did any of your Redbirds were preserved?

[@poznanskiszybkowiec_official]

@@Katrielle_Going_To_Quebec I think that Some R33s & R36s are stored for Vintage tours, i don't live in NYC, But i know MTA Really well, Their Next target is to Withdraw Older trains As the part for those new R211 Trains, i don't like the new units

Nice tribute video, thank you for creating & uploading it for train enthusiasts & nostalgic NY'ers. Bought my two sons (4 & 12 yrs. old) MTH Red Bird work train in an O gauge yest. & can't wait to see their faces when they open it for Xmas as they've wanted it last Christmas but I settled for Polar Express model do to feasibility.

One of the most nostalgic video i've ever seen on youtube. We never realize how much we are close to the objects we rub elbows with each day. I didn't knew the redbirds but I understand the emotion of someone who travelled each day during so many years in these wagons. We should enjoy more the things we get nearness with. That's my proposition. Sorry for my english, i'm french

Exactly Ask your mom about the good old 70s Things were cheap back then in the city Rents were cheap the subway mite have smelled but the city was really FUN and people were not as up tight as there are now. I lived down in the village and used to go wash square alot even NYU was fun in the early days now the city sucks that is why i dont live there any more

[@khaseemroberts4283]

20 other sets of red bird subway cars could have been saved for emergency uses for the 2 and 5 trains including a couple other line for the 4 6 and 7 trains too! High tech trains still have issues sometimes too!

no one will then take the NYC subway because the most of the riders are not part of your stereotype of loving old stuff because these types of people want new stuff to improve their commute and the red birds nowadays look unattractive, ancient, and dull
