Overview
Delivered between 1999 and 2003, the stainless steel R142As are among the newest cars on New York City's century-old municipal rails. With the delivery of the final R142s, NYC transit retired the last of its non-stainless cars, including the famous Redbirds. Designed to travel primarily in semi-permanently coupled sets, the R142As were assembled in Kobe, Japan and Yonkers, NY by Kawasaki Heavy Industries. Each set is powered by four 150-hp truck-mounted motors on each end cab car, and two motors on each cabless intermediate car; top speed is about 60 mph.
RailKing R142A 2-car add-on sets make a great addition to our 4-car powered sets.
