The "Redbirds" were a collection of nine types of similar-looking subway cars, with the R36 being the last remaining in service. Built by St. Louis Car Company, R36 cars first rolled out for the 1964 World’s Fair in #Queens. The Redbirds were a familiar sight to New Yorkers for nearly 40 years.

2. Also from 1986, this photo shows an R33ML train with 5 route indicators. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, graffiti inside and outside of train cars had reached critical mass.

3 and 4. Some of the R33ML subway cars preserved in the #NYTransitMuseum’s vintage fleet!

📷 From the #NYTMCollection:

1. Taken in 1986, this photo shows a train of R33ML subway cars in “Green Hornet” livery on the 2 line. This paint color, officially called Kale Green, was tested by the Transit Authority on 12 R-33 cars on IRT lines.

Between 1972 and 1982, the R33ML cars became the first “A” division fleet retrofitted with air conditioning. When they were later rebuilt by the MTA’s 207th Street and Coney Island Overhaul Shops from 1986 to 1991, all cars were installed with General Electric Equipment.
