Great video of the IRT Lo-V cars traveling at what appears to be top speed. Thanks to the Williamsburg Bridge accident, they don't operate the trains at speeds greater than 40 to 45 M.P.H. anymore. I recall back in 1993 when I rode an "F" train consisting of R46s on the IND Queens Line to Jamaica. The train literally barreled down the track when it was on the express tracks. The lack of high speed on the express lines has taken a lot of the fun out of riding the subway.

How fast did those things used to go?

Yeah the only subtle differences are the lower celestory roof and the headlight arrangement. Philly's Market St. cars had one high-mounted headlight above the bulkhead door. Otherwise they are identical.

They look very much like the old Elevated trains we had here in Philly years ago. And I heard the original one's looked just like theo nes in this clip, they retired them in 1959.

wow this really rare footage

The motorman didn't have a health issue. It is thought that he fell asleep behind the controller. I also wish to add that I rode an "F" train in 1993 that did barrel through Queens and that was on the R-46s.

well in the 60th Street tube, r160's commonly go up to 57 MPH in service

this looks like the "red rattler" subway trains we used to have unitl 1992 in Sydney, Australia. They were from the 20's and 30's.

No, these 1920s cars were removed from service in 1963.
