⁴ᴷ R142A 2 Train Action

Here we see an R142A running in service on the 2 line. R142As look very similar to the R142-type cars that normally run on the 2, but they are built by Kawasaki (instead of Bombardier, which built the R142s), have slight differences in trim, and different mechanical systems. This R142A was borrowed from the 4 line. Enjoy!

R142A needs to return on the 6! Great video bud! :)

[@TheRailLeaguer]

Fuseguy is Cool No they don’t. Besides, who doesn’t want extra trains on the 6 line, which is what replacing the R142As with R62As accomplishes.

[@robloxgamingrailfanner420]

Bruh.

[@josecontreras8468]

The R142As don’t need to go back to the 6. The 6 is great with R62As.

[@Mayaisawesome91]

Stop foaming and go back to getting trash codebreaks sir😊

[@EpicThe112]

Good catch and you can differentiate the two which are the R142 & R142A by listening to the propulsion package since the other one is made by Bombardier using R188 & R143 propulsion for the R142A but Alstom for R142 which is in fact the same model found on R160A & R160B Alstom.

[@vincentm614]

The number 2 train has always been a main artery line in nyc like the A, E, F, N Q, L,7 ,J and 4 lines. All 24 hour first tier lines. It would be nice to see high tech cars on the whole system. A few of the cars on the C local and A lines still date back to 1968.

[@yzaabellanosa1405]

Yeah this is amazing

[@W.L.Customs]

Don’t y’all seriously just love the fact that the (2) other train fleets, such as the R62s, R62As, and R142As? I do.

[@toters2724]

I would like R142A 2, for R62A definitely no.

[@the_elmeister]

This somehow showed up on the (2) and ran it’s whole route from Flatbush to 241 via 7 Av Express, this is SUPER rare because the R142As are what make up majority of the (4) line. They run on the (4)

Yea

you're so lucky! That first set also had the r142a car #7777

[@redphone1438]

Cool! The last time this happened was August 2016. We need stainless steal trains because they get rusted so much. Boston Red Line has it.

Cool R142A (2) Train

[@Jaegered]

The Kawasaki MTA trains have the best propulsion’s IMO. Correct me if i’m wrong, I think the R142A, R143, and R188 is made by Kawasaki

[@physetermacrocephalus9986]

They are made by Kawasaki but they have a Bombardier propulsion system. And I agree with you

[@zeenoz7567]

The R142A’s are definitely better than the R142’s I love the R142A’s propulsion sound
