NYCT went back to tried and true technology on these cars (and also the R-68 as well) after the debacles of the 1970's with the R-44 and especially the R-46 cars which had a whole host of technical problems when they were new including motors falling off of cars due to defective trucks. The biggest complaint about the R-62's were their Japanese designed seats which were not designed for American butts. There is a set which has different seats I think it is 1586-90. However these cars did come with A/C which no IRT car had before (except R-15 6239 and the R-17 experimentals). |
