Redbird

Old subway car type 'R36' at the NYC Transit Museum

This is the interior of an old # 7 train, a line which runs between Times Square and Willets Point/Shea Stadium in Queens. Although technically a so called "Redbird", this train car actually still retains it's original color scheme on the outside, meaning it probably was retired before the year 1985, which is the year many cars of this type were painted a dark red color to combat a worsening Graffiti problem. This model is old enough to sport windows which could actually be opened, and built in ceiling fans instead of air conditioning.
