What trains are used?

Although the R32s didn't have AC but the R40's and up do POSESS them

The R32 does HAVE A/C. When there were rebuilt in 1987-90, they were rebuilt with A/C.

They would have been retired back in 1990 with the R27s and R30s if they didn't have A/C

Good then, maybe the R38 cars posses them too.

Rob, they were some of the first cars built with A/C! The majority didn't get it until they had their GOH but there were a few that did get it from the start. If I can I'll try to find their numbers to back that up.

4140-49 were the first NYC Subway cars delivered with A/C as standard equipment in 1967. It was originally a test train, but proved successful that 200 R40's and all R42's would be ordered with A/C.
