Revision as of 02:39, 18 April 2004

The R42, built in 1969-1970 was the last 60' IND-BMT cars in the New York Subway until the R143 in 2001 and the last model class to be built as pairs (mated sets). They are similar to the R40M. Built by the St. Louis Car Co. in Saint Louis, Missouri, these were the first fully air-conditioned car class in the NYC subway.

They are numbered 4550-4949.

They are found mainly on the BMT Eastern Division (J, M, L, Z lines) and some on the Coney Island BMT routes.
