The car that is dumped in this video is 4151, a slant end R40. It was withdrawn from use in April 2008 and reefed in New Jersey on 09/08/2008. New Jersey opted to stop using subway cars for reefs after only 2 batches of 50, because the cars deteriorated underwater much faster than anticipated. Originally they planned to take up to 600 of the R32 through R42 types.
Why bother buying entire new subway cars, just replace the engines or electrical stuff in the old cars and keep using the parts that you can. Such a waste to just throw them away.
To everybody blaming the MTA: Now stop please, We have literal preserved cars that you can view, We buy new cars so we will have a safer system as a route will weaken the metal a bit so BE THANKFUL THAT YOU ARE ALIVE IN THE NEW TRAINS WHICH ARE SAFER
Hurray!!!! No more r40s Burn the last r40 slants!! Shoot the last r40s with ak47s and boom cannons! A miracle has taken place!! R160s shall take over the universe’s railways!!!
The following classes: -R26s -R28s -R29s -R33/33 WFs -R36/WFs ^ Those were all Redbirds -R32s -R38s -R40 Slants -R40Ms -R42s and a few R62/62As. I believe that's it.
This is just a foolish way of polluting the environment. The MTA started this back in Late 2000, claiming that it will "create artificial reefs and artistic discoveries for scuba-divers" I still call BS, because that is STILL KILLING THE POOR FISH UNDER THE SEA :( Can't we just like, turn them into fancy cars or something?
Leo Lin Do you even have any idea what metal these trains are made of? Pure stainless steel. And yet they don't just scrap it. Dumping it into the ocean is just wasting metal and they could at least have them scrapped for reusable parts. Artificial reefs are cool, but not environmentally friendly sadly tbh
R40: PLEASE DON'T PUT ME IN THE OCEAN. RAILFANS WANT ME SO BAD. CRANE:SHUT UP ERIC:STOP CRANE CRANE: GOODBYE R40'S R40'S:NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!. ERIC:😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. ERIC:R40'S YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTED. & WILL BE MISS. ERIC:WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
Plus, is good for the enviroment, They cleaned all the subway cars and they did alot of hard work to remove every single piece of harmful materials, is a eco system now making it good for the enviroment. Some engineers even sank a cleaned up and renovated aircraft carrier to make a eco system. They did the same to it as the metro cars. Dont take stuff for granted.
you know the cars turn into a good home for the animals who live underwater? coral and other life populate the old subway cars, and its even been proven beneficial. This is not some attempt to pollute the ocean. Turning them into 'fancy cars' will just waste revenue.
What? And technally the MTA waisted their time. They can't even burn them or sell then, but no dududududu... let's make the fish have homes that I don't give three fucks if they get eaten by fucking sharks , instead of helping people at least shelter in there, and give it some love.
Kind of a waste if ya ask me. There are other places that could use em. The same will happen with R46/R68s in the near future when all lines are replaced by R160's and the like.bI never liked the new ones but appreciate its features but its so cold and robotic like a hospital operating room. I'm sure I'm not the only one but I've let an R160 2 train pass me just to get a R68 3 lol. I miss the R68 4 train more than any other:( just memories riding it...but nothin like the R46 A to cheer ya up lol
I think you mean an R142 2 train, an R62 3 train, and an R62A 4 train. R160, R46 and R68 are B Division trains not A Division trains. Also R46A does not exist
CAN I HAVE IT IN MY ROOM

The fish that were hanging out near the ship 👁👄👁
I think this is a great idea! Using the retired cars for the environment!
This is the saddest shit i ever seen
Why couldn’t they just take off the scrap and re-use it???
R42 gets dumped into hell

Fun fact that his icon
If you want to have nightmares this is it! This breaks my heart as a railroader first the Red Birds now the Steels? Very sad shame on you MTA!

Rip r40 M 42
This hurts my heart to watch this
Thats a R40s
Bc it got replace by R211A and R211T and R211S
Thank you MTA for further destroying the environment
After all I did for this city........ And this is how your going to do me LoL
@Joshua W56 they deformed fast so it was a new sad life
Why did they do this to the R40's? ;-;
Closed Permanently Too old, and old cars at the time were ripe for creating artificial reefs.
The guy cant do that and the people will be mad and there will be a flood
How will there be a flood
which old subway train models got dumped into the ocean
The following classes: -R26s -R28s -R29s -R33/33 WFs -R36/WFs ^ Those were all Redbirds -R32s -R38s -R40 Slants -R40Ms -R42s and a few R62/62As. I believe that's it.
So sad
Thanks for caring about fish instead of giving six fucks for the homeless...
Redet hier mal einer deutsch?! Deppen Volk, Metall is zu billig, warum schmeißen die Idioten nich gleich geld ins wasser
¡¿WTFF?!
2 days ago, the R179s entered service
Why are they throwing the R40S out even though there are still on service?
I'm surprised some R32s are still in service after the R38s, R40s, and R44s retired. The R32s were built before the R38s, R40s, and R44s.
Bc it got replace by R211
Hey sponge bob going to have a new park

I meant old cars together with new ones
In my perspective, I want the new cars to co_exist with ALL old cars. I DONT CARE even if the system is overloaded
so MTA wastes over 1000 grand for trains and throw these trains in the ocean? MTA needs a better solution than just dumping them in the ocean. shit.
They should turn them into fancy cars. That would be more useful rather than polluting spongebob's homeland.

I think that they should,n have dumped the Redbirds
They should. The cars that are reefed can be given to a new world
The Redbirds have already been reefed...
Lets toss cars worth tons of money in scrap in the ocean and complain about lack of funding and raise fairs.
Yeh, I see your point, but this is healthy for the environment for recycling which helps us to live in the long run.

r68s don't run on the 4, and R160s don't run on the 2 lol
Lol I guess most people complained about the screeching brakes
No it's because they were getting old and needed to be retired
L.O.L. I love the screeching brakes
