Does anyone here know how many R44s are left in Coney Island Yard?Unless there are any R-44's anywhere, I believe there is only one R-44 left and it's in the transit museum. Bill Newkirk |

Of course, there are the 60+ R-44's on SIR.-William A. Padron ["Tottenville"] |

If they are any more R-44's there at CI Yard, they could be those from SIR being given necessary repairs on them. They have been transported back and forth from Clifton Shop at times.-William A.

Thank you for sharing and the trip down Memory Lane.If there was anything I liked about the 44's were the sounds from the brakes releasing and the door chime pre-GOH. |

Only the 1200 series R46s were officially "assigned" to the JFK Exp in ABA consist. However there were plenty of times the TA take a 4 car other series R46s, signed them up as S Special and pressed them into service. |

It seems that NYCT car equipment personnel couldn’t satisfactorily maintain the more complex electronic P wire braking system so those systems on both the R-44s and 46s were replaced. The Westcode system of the R-46s was a bit more reliable so the 44s were done first with the 46s waiting until GOH. When the LIRR M-1s were new, there were reports of numerous failures on them as well but eventually those problems were corrected. |
