R1-9 City Cars (1928–1977): The R1s were the first cars designed for the new Independent Subway and ushered in the era of the “modern” subway car. From 1928 through 1940, five types of nearly identical cars based on this design—nicknamed “Arnines”—were produced. They featured seating for 60 and standing room for 222, which was a 30% increase over the largest capacity subway car in current service. |
