The R14 was a New York City Subway car built in 1949 by the American Car and Foundry Company. They were a "follow-up" or supplemental stock for the A Division's R12s and look exactly the same, except for a different floor pattern. These were the last cars built with outside door operating apparatus or controls. Delivery began in August 1949,〔"IRT SMEE delivery dates", R36 Preservation, Inc. http://www.coronayard.com/r36preservation/irtsmeedelivery.htm〕 with R14s entering service on the (IRT Flushing Line) service in September 1949 〔(ERA New York Division Bulletin, September 2009, Page 4 )〕 with all 150 cars delivered by January 1950.〔(ERA New York Division Bulletin, September 2009, Page 4 )〕 The R14s ran on the Flushing Line there until the arrival of the R33/R36 World's Fair cars in late 1963-early 1964. Afterwards, the R14s were transferred to operate on other A division routes before being retired and replaced by the R62/R62As on December 10, 1984. While they ran in solid consists on the Flushing line, the R14s never did so on the mainlines, always being intermixed in trains of newer cars and were never placed at the conductor's location. ==Preservation and Work Service== Car 5871, formerly used for fire training. It is now a part of the New York Transit Museum, and is currently at the 207th Street Yard, most likely awaiting restoration but has suffered some fire damage. This car retains its MTA blue/silver livery paint scheme.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Showing Image 95272 )〕 Car 5944 has been converted to R71 de-icer car RD340 and is currently at the Westchester Yard. Eleven R14s were converted into R71 rider cars after retirement, but were replaced with R161s (R33s converted into rider cars) in the mid-2000s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=www.nycsubway.org )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「R14 (New York City Subway car)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
