Reply to comment by Ok-Strain-9847 in MTA unveils new sleek, high-tech subway cars — here’s what lines are getting them by nemoid

They’ll probably make it to the N/Q/W eventually, but the R46s that run on the A/C seem to be in worse shape.

Certainly on the C line.

I kinda miss the R32s. The heating on them was amazing, even tho it was probably produced by straight up burning oil.

Their A/C was wonderful too!

Yeah I was hoping the B/D would’ve got these new ones but then realized the best AC in the entire subway is on those bad boys. MTA definitely didn’t give a flying fuck about energy efficiency/conservation in those days 😂
