R15 (New York City Subway car)
The R15 was a New York City Subway car built in 1950 by the American Car and Foundry Company. These cars were somewhat similar to the R12/R14 cars and they were the first to feature round (turtle-back) roofs, porthole door windows, and conductors door operating apparatus controls located inside the motorman's cabs, instead of on the outsides as on the R12/R14s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=www.nycsubway.org )〕 Delivery began after the final R14s in January 1950, with the R15s beginning service on the (IRT Flushing Line) service in Queens and Manhattan on February 4, 1950. All cars were accepted for service as of April 23, 1950.〔(ERA New York Division Bulletin, September 2009, Page 4 )〕 The R15s,along with the R12/R14s ram on the Flushing Line until 1964 with the delivery of R33 WF/R36 WF cars. While they ran in solid consists on the Flushing line, the R15s were always intermixed with later cars once they were transferred to the mainlines.
Eventually, the R15 cars were transferred to operate on other IRT division routes originating in Manhattan, the Bronx and/or Brooklyn throughout their service lives, starting in 1964, and ran there until their retirement on December 10, 1984 when the R15s were replaced by the R62/R62A fleet.
