The R32 is a New York City Subway car model built by the Budd Company from 1964 to 1965 for the IND/BMT B Division. A total of 600 R32s were built, numbered 3350–3949, though some cars were re-numbered. The R32 contract was divided into two subcontracts of 300 cars each: R32 (cars 3350–3649) and R32A (cars 3650–3949); the former was paid by the city's capital budget and the latter was paid through a revenue bond. All are arranged as married pairs. The R32s were the first mass-produced stainless steel cars built for the New York City Subway. A ceremonial introduction trip for the new R32 "Brightliners" cars was held on September 9, 1964. In service 1964–present. Many fleets were retired in 2007 to 2009. Update: The entire R32 fleets have been retired on Jan 9th, 2022, with an express service on the Q train. Cars 3360 to 3361 along with many others were preserved while the rest were taken off property and scrapped.
