R22 (New York City Subway car)
The R22 was a New York City Subway car built in 1957–1958 by the St. Louis Car Company for the IRT division. Each car cost approximately $106,699.
The 450 R22s were a "follow-up" or supplemental stock for the "A" Division's R21 car order and look exactly the same, and were the last single cars built prior to the R33 World's Fair cars in 1963-1964. The fleet had two-paned storm door windows that could be opened by dropping down the upper window except for cars 7515-24, which had single drop sash windows instead. Those cars also had Plextone-painted interiors and pink-molded fiberglass seats. The R22s were the first cars to have sealed beam headlights.
==History==
The R22s first entered service on April 13, 1957, starting to replace most of the IRT "high voltage" type cars. The R22s ran is service for most of their service lives on the IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line painted in green livery.
Cars 7513, 7509, 7516, 7654, 7675 (which was the location of Bernhard Goetz's vigilante action), and 7686, were used as an automatic test train which ran revenue service on the 42nd Street Shuttle starting in January 1962. The experiment ended on April 21, 1964, when a fire partially destroyed the Grand Central Shuttle platform as well as car 7740. Cars 7509, 7513, and 7516 were not damaged in the fire, but never returned to revenue service. In 1973, car 7509 was converted to the test car XC375, which operated on various IRT lines until April 1982. This car was scrapped on July 12, 1996.
