The New York City R-17 subway cars debuted on the IRT (Interborough Rapid Transit) Division in 1955. The 400 series cars, which were built by the St. Louis Car Co., proved to be reliable workhorses that were kept in service until February 1988.

Returning for the first time in a decade, these add-on car sets are available in the popular "Red Bird" scheme and the classic MTA silver and blue markings and make it easy to expand your 4-car set into a 6-car consist.

The IRT Division of the New York subway was the first built, and its narrower tunnels require smaller cars than the BMT and IND Divisions.
