Two versions were manufactured: Westinghouse (WH)-powered cars and General Electric (GE)-powered cars. The first R16s entered service on January 10, 1955. Various modifications were made over the years to the R16 fleet. The GE-powered cars were found to be less reliable than the WH-powered cars, so the New York City Transit Authority planned to retire them early in 1977 with R46s. However, problems with R46 cars kept the GE-powered R16s in service until 1983. The WH-powered R16s were retired in 1987 with the delivery of the R68s. Some R16 cars were saved for various purposes, but most were scrapped. 1954 1954 R46 and R68 196 GE cars , WH cars / 4 per car 12677 R16 1117497580 250 Interior view of R16 car 6387 R16 car 6387 bypassing Avenue H station on the Train of Many Metals 1955-01-10 Single unit cars
