| 9542 is a 1965 model "Main Line" Westinghouse R36 IRT passenger unit built by St. Louis Car, delivered 2/1965. Last new build passenger rail equipment in North America with conventional sash windows. The 34 Main Line R36s (9524-9557) are actually Main Line R33s delivered at the tail end of the R36 order, being assembled from leftover Main Line R33 car shells between July 1964 and early 1965. These leftover R33 car shells resulted when it was decided to have the last 40 R33s built as single units for 11-car operation for Flushing Line World's Fair Service. 9542 and 9543 are in the New York Transit Museum (NYTM) fleet. |
