[MTA] R110B Subway Train
The R110B (contract order R131) was a prototype class of experimental New Technology Train (NTT) New York City Subway cars built by Bombardier of Canada for service on the B Division services. There were nine cars, arranged as three-car sets. They were designed to test features that would be implemented on future mass-production NTT orders.
First announced in 1989, the R110Bs were delivered in 1992 and entered service on June 15, 1993, on the A service. An explosion in 1996 forced three cars to be taken out of service, resulting in the remaining six cars to run on the C service. The six cars not affected by the explosion continued to run until 2000, when they were permanently removed from service due to frequent breakdowns and low Mean Distance Between Failure (MDBF) numbers. Five of the nine cars were sent away to various facilities, with the remaining four still on MTA property.
