R6 (New York City Subway Car)
The R6 was a New York City Subway car that was built in 1935 and 1936. The R6 contract had three separate orders from different manufacturers due to the large order. The R6 separate orders were R6-3 (American Car and Foundry Company), R6-2 (Pullman Standard), and R6-1 (Pressed Steel Car Company). The R6 fleets were almost identical to the R4s which preceded them, except that the R6 had a 2 pane front window compared to the R4's 1 pane window.
