The R142 is the first mass-produced model class of the newest generation or new technology (NTT) A Division cars for the New York City Subway. It was built by Bombardier Transportation in La Pocatière, Quebec, Canada and Barre, Vermont, U.S. with final assembly performed at Plattsburgh, New York, from 1999 to 2003. [6]

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.

These cars were built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Kobe, Hyōgo, Japan and Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S. with final assembly performed at Yonkers, New York. [9][10] Together with the R142s, they replaced the Redbird trains, including the R26, R28, R29, R33, R33S, and R36. The R142A fleet initially comprised 600 cars, arranged as five-car units.

The R142 is a class of A Division subway cars built by Bombardier Transportation. They are the first mass-produced class of New Technology Trains (NTT) for the New York City Subway. They are currently assigned on the 2 line. The first cars were built in 1999, with the first set of cars entering the revenue service in the 2000s.

The R142A, along with the R142, are the first and second part of the fourth generation of somewhat similar new technology cars (NTTs) for the A Division of the New York City Subway.[2] These cars were built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Japan. Along with the R142s, they replaced the Redbird...

2023年4月16日 · Considering that the bulk of the R142/R142A fleet is already at its midlife (crazy to think that), will there be any refurbishments or upgrades done to them? I think the Kawasaki built R142A's especially would need a serious overhaul. The jerking makes ride quality awful and the interiors are fal...

2020年1月9日 · If I remember correctly, nearly twenty years ago when the IRT subways were upgraded to R142/R142a/R188 cars, the fleet seems to have been working good since they are were rolled out around 1999/2000 and are still running. Since then, some of the rest of the new cars on the lettered lines, have been having quality control issues.

The R142 and R142A were the first "New Technology Train" production models to enter service on the A Division and on the entire New York City Subway. Both car classes entered service on July 10, 2000. These cars were based off the R110A prototype cars …

2018年3月21日 · So since the R142/A’s are almost 20 years old, are they expected to be replaced in the next 10 years, or are they going to be the R32/42’s of the IRT and hit 45-50 years in service? Their life expectancy is longer than 35 years, since the cars are stainless steel they should be fine in that regard long term.

However, in one of the biggest re-equipment projects of its type, the original trains were replaced by 680 cars, designated R142 and built by Bombardier Transportation in Canada. Kawasaki of Japan built a further 400 vehicles to complete the provision of a new generation of trains.
