R62A (New York City Subway car)
The R62A is a New York City Subway car built between 1984 and 1987 by Bombardier in La Pocatiere, Quebec, with final assembly done in Barre, Vermont under a license from Kawasaki.
==History==
Following the successful delivery of the 325-car R62 order from Kawasaki Heavy Industries, the New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA) put out a bid for an additional 825 cars to replace the aging R17/21/22 cars, which had all been built in 1954–8. Kawasaki did not want to build another 325 cars, so the R62A contract was awarded to Bombardier Transportation of Quebec, who won the bid over Budd Company of Pennsylvania. While Bombardier had offered a higher price per car than Budd had, the NYCTA had awarded the contract to Bombardier because of the Canadian government's financial plan for the cars. In addition, Budd was using unapproved and untested motors, and similarly untested technology had frequently broken down in the R44 and R46 contracts.〔
These 825 cars were built between 1984 and 1987 and entered service between 1985 and 1988, though in August 1985, several cars were frequently taken out of service due to coupler and electrical problems.〔 They replaced the 1954-58 built R17/21/22 cars, which were all retired by early 1988.〔〔〔 The first thirty R62As, numbered 1651–1680, had their body shells built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries and were shipped to Bombardier for their use as samples during their production. The first set of R62As was placed on the on May 29, 1985.
