I'd say that these are great cars; however, the brakes are so bad that if the cars weren't as good in other aspects, the brakes would make these cars terrible.
Wonderful vid.....its funny how ppl quick to talk shit about the R-160's and R-142's but yet the older cars are more horrible than anything....oh the irony!
@sonicboy678 This is because of the Union Square accident from August 29, 1991 - with cars 1440, 1439, 1437, 1436, 1435 all out of service (1st to 5th cars of that train).
There was a report that 1434 was the sixth car of that (10?)-car train - Do you know where 1438 was located on that train in question?
looks like a hottie at 1:08

Question for both of you: What's so special about these R62s (unless it's 1431,1432,1433,1434,1438)?

a lot of subway cars have crappy brakes, but i love the R62s. they are my favorite IRT cars. i find more pleasant than the R142/142As.
