R32s never seem to die

[@Thedancingroach777]

ITS HIM CRAFTYFOXE

[@Chris-zs5qb]

I mean, they already did

[@PiriPie-rez]

Too strong

[@R160commo_wrap_Railfan]

Sadly, some carts are with no Rollsigns

[@W.L.Customs]

Without a doubt they never would. Same can never be said for the 2- and 4-car R46 train sets too

[@MasterTransit_MSDWolf8420]

Godly video. RIP to R32 1964 - 2022.

[@HayleyKiyokoLineBMT]

60 years in the making!! Already retiring in 22

[@ericschwartz3559]

People are going to say “Those Trains Are From The 1960s, Can’t Be With That Stainless Steel Look”. Some rail fans who are older remember when the R32s were brand new and how modern and nice looking they were with that shiny silver stainless steel look on the exterior in 1964 when they were first introduced to the NYC Subway which earned them the nickname “Brightliners”. They look in good condition for subway cars built in the early 60s. Some of them even remember their first ride on a shiny new R-32 N train in the summer of 1965.

[@lilbluefoxie]

They look in such good shape they could have ran another 60 years

[@OA8376]

A little clean up and TLC the would run better than anything out there today.

[@lilbluefoxie]

@@OA8376 the last time I was in NYC I rode the 32’s on the C and they ran just fine, no worse than anything else in the fleet. Frankly the lighting is better in the older trains it’s not that harsh white light and white walls that all the new trains have for some reason

[@michaelgorman4229]

How many of the R32 left?

[@DBONPC]

God the R32's will be sorely missed, Is it just me but they also felt that they had much more room than newer cars do.

[@TSgotstolengoddamm]

Thats probably partially placebo and parcially due to it having straight walls

[@DBONPC]

@@TSgotstolengoddamm that's an interesting theory and probably true honestly, but I'd ride these trains to and from queens for high school on the J line and on the C line but I always felt there was so much room on them.

[@ericschwartz3559]

Those trains don’t look 60 years old. They look in good condition except for some dirt, rust and graffiti. I remember riding them on the C train when I was little. Going to miss them dearly. 😢 R.I.P 1964-2022, 58 YEARS!!! They originally had a 35-year service life, but exceeded that by another two decades. Also, amazing that they outlasted their cousins, the St. Louis built R38s, that were constructed after the R32s but retired before them 13 years earlier in 2009. Also what’s amazing is that these trains, slightly younger than the R30s, would remain in service until another three decades after they were retired in 1993. They also outlasted similar looking train models during the 60s and 70s such as the R38, R40, R42, R44 and R46 trains.

[@FranklinBROADY-zt2hf]

My name is Franklin Broady Jr and I am sorry to see that the R32 subway cars are going for ever.

R32 master race

[@Nena-v5c]

RIP R32 😢😢😢

[@BorisLu]

Awesome video!

[@karatekidfahim5]

4:42 you got it’s younger R42 cousin on the middle track.

[@davidng2336]

If these are being towed then they are being kicked out for sure. At least many have been kept for future fan trips.

[@BMTEnjoyer160]

Rip R32s

[@Kuba_mkm]

1:13 the joker movie cars

[@officialmcdeath]

OK so they go down Culver and back up West End. Question is do they go through Stillwell Av or do they do a complex tour through Av X and CI Yards and reemerge at Bay 50? \m/

[@elizabethbobbio2601]

How many left? And when was this taken?

[@Chris-zs5qb]

This was taken fairly recently, iirc

[@davidng2336]

It says Summer 2024.

[@elizabethbobbio2601]

@@davidng2336 I know but the dates

[@scottyerkes1867]

RIP r32's

[@paulwarner5395]

Thanx for the video but why 3 locos to pull these trains. seems like an overkill??

[@daniellucas6573]

The work motors are spaced apart for even axle load distribution and proper braking.

[@MrTopgunna718]

I was gonna say the same plus their remote controlled ​@daniellucas6573

R32, R.I.P., September 14, 1964-January 9, 2022

[@dillonyeardley6270]

R32 5 train???

[@michealguillen8496]

Good bye 👋 R42 1964 - 2024 life many years, and they run A B C D G N Q lines till 80s run L.N R . Now rest in peace 🙏

[@RobertPaniagua]

I hope those R32s being taken the 38th Street yard are preserved rather than scrapped. They are still in decent condition

[@josemartinez223]

They are being scrapped, the MTA has a train of R32s set aside for fan-trips and film shoots.

[@RobertPaniagua]

@@josemartinez223 oh that stinks still. They could have sent those trainsets to a museum or two
