R262 (New York City Subway car)

Uncommon card · No. 177639

The R262 is a proposed New Technology Train-series subway car for the New York City Subway. It is expected to replace the current R62, R62A, R142, and R142A rolling stock, which are used on the subway's A Division. The order was first proposed in the late 2010s, and a request for proposal (RFP) was issued by Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) in March 2026. If all options are exercised, the contract could be the largest rolling stock contract ever issued by the MTA, with up to 2,390 R262 subway cars replacing over 35% of the existing subway fleet, making it the largest fleet order in New York City Subway history.
