The air brakes were different because they were from two completely different manufacturers. The R-44s had RT-5 brakes from WABCO whereas the R-46s had a similar brake package manufactured by Westcode. There was one train of R-44s which had Westcode brakes which may have been the reason that the MTA decided to go with Westcode for the R-46s. |
