Together with the R142As, they replaced the Redbird trains, including the R26, R28, R29, R33, R33S, and R36. The R142s and R142As are the first New York City Subway cars to feature recorded announcements. The first R142s were delivered on November 16, 1999, though they initially experienced minor issues that were reported while undergoing testing.

In 1997, an order was placed for 1,080 new cars for the IRT ("A") division, to be known as contracts R-142 and R-142A. The contracts were let to Bombardier, to build the R-142 contract of 680 cars, and to Kawasaki Heavy Industries, to build the R-142A contract of 400 cars.

The R142 and R142A are a type of subway car built by Bombardier Transportation and Kawasaki Rail Car, respectively, for the New York City Subway. They were built and delivered from 1999 to 2003, and were the first in a series of New Technology Trains for the MTA.

Now, CP Rail delivers R142s from Plattsburgh to Fresh Pond Yard, interchange with CSX at Oak Point Yard is no longer done. Some cars moved to 207th St. Yard on 12/20/1999.
