I loved running these in my time as a Train Operator (Motorman) in the 90’s.

[@Sean8888TTP]

RIP R46 F 😭😭😭😭

[@bennythepenny5831]

Would be great to update this once the remaining fleet retires around the mid 2020s, possibly through the 2030s. The R-211 might have additional delays, as the timing of MTA projects are often unreliable.

[@ArrowIIIRailfan]

Nice video man long live the R46.

[@Wbishop1995]

I really going to miss them

[@ericschwartz3559]

The R46s are starting to retire folks. There’s 692 that still remain in service, but their days are numbered. R.I.P R46s 1975-2024. First the “Bright liners” left us and now it’s the R46s turn.

Glad you enjoyed it! Check out nycsubway.org, they have an amazing gallery of similar photos.

I hope they do the same thing that they did with the r32. Like add the blue strips and put back the original break sound

even though the r46’s are one of the most hated train models, just like when ppl say “you’re gonna miss them when they’re gone”, i feel that way. At least we’re still gonna have the last 75-Footer r68/A’s for a few more years

[@poser-_-wya]

I know this is a dumb question but did they repaint all of their trains for the gray design we all see now?

[@bleepiestofbloops]

@@poser-_-wya A lot of the cars from the '60s and '70s got repainted to grey, yeah.

[@TRRailfan]

Most cars which were in the blue-and-silver MTA livery were repainted after their overhauls in the late 1980s.

[@Railoffroader2]

The R-46 car body sides are stainless steel.

Post hurricane sandy will never be forgotten,it actually hit nyc as a category 4 storm then weakened to cat 3 opon landfall and slowly went over nyc,that’s why the devastation was terrible,if a high end category 5 hurricane hit nyc again with the anti flooding and stuctaul improvement and better drains.it won’t be as bad as sandy the wind will be the main threat unless it stalls over the east river.
