SafetySystem = The R33 ML (Mainline) was a New York City Subway car built by St. Louis Car Company in 1962–63. Five hundred cars were built, serving on all IRT subway lines. They were rebuilt between 1986–1991. After rebuilding, they served on the NYCS service|2, NYCS service|4, and NYCS service|5 routes and occasionally on the NYCS service|7 before making their last trip on the NYCS service|4 on April 14, 2003.
In 1998, New York City Transit announced that it would begin phasing out the Redbird cars, R26/28/29/R33/36. From 2001 to 2003, Redbird cars were scrapped, sold, put into work service, or stored out of service.
Eight cars (9010-9011, 9016-9017, 9068-9069 and 9206-9207) have been repainted into various vintage paint schemes, and have seen various uses since retirement. Car #9075 is on display at Queens Borough Hall.
Most of these cars were retired by the NYCTA between 2001 and 2003. Some cars converted to work service from 1999-2004.
