The R110A (contract order R130) was a New York City Subway car model built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in 1992 as a prototype New Technology Train to test various technologies. There were ten cars arranged as five-car sets. They were designed to test features that would be implemented on future mass-production New Tech Train orders.

The R-110A and R-110B cars were prototype cars delivered to the Transit Authority in 1992. These cars were designed to test out various "New Technology" features that would eventually be incorporated into the next fleet of trains.

The R110 cars are an important bridge between the subway cars of the 1970s and 1980s to the subway cars of today. Where have I seen an R110B? The R110Bs entered service June 15, 1993, on the A train (IND Eighth Avenue Express).

In this view coming into 233rd St. on the 2 line on January 9,1995, is the R-110A New Technology Train, the prototype for the R142 and R142A cars which now are in service on the 2,4,5 and 6 lines....

2 天之前 · We all know that the Kawasaki R110A and Bombardier R110B were prototype trains for the current NTT trains we see today. First, a rare find of a R110 train making simulated stops during testing. You can clearly hear the AC motors built by AEG Westinghouse (which became AdTranz, and is now known as Bombardier).

2011年1月5日 · Here is the recent R110A & B thread. http://www.nyctransitforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25795&page=6. CKhaleel gave a short, but enough information for a person to get it. The R110A & R110B were new technology test cars. They were never built to last the 40 years of a subway car, and only 10 R110A, and 9 R110B cars were built.

The R110B (contract order R131) was a prototype class of experimental New Technology Train (NTT) New York City Subway cars built by Bombardier of Canada for service on the B Division services. There were nine cars, arranged as three-car sets. They were designed to test features that would be implemented on future mass-production NTT orders.

In 1989, the MTA awarded contracts for two prototype test trains: the R110A (contract R130) for the A Division built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and the R110B (contract R131) for the B Division built by Bombardier Transportation.
