Description
The kings of the IND ride again.

These R9 cars represent the last batch of 9 nearly identical car classes (R1 through R9) purchased for the Independent Subway System of New York City from 1930 through 1940. They ran long into the unification and even the MTA era, with the final cars retired in 1977, making this train perfect for your 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and even 1970s cities.

Operating on all "lettered" routes in New York City for more than 40 years, the "Arnines" became a New York City icon. Many examples have survived into preservation, and are staples on New York Transit Museum excursions and fan trips.

In game, this train is 6 cars long, fitting most stations without overhang, and features dynamic directional signage on the sides of the car, and custom dynamic announcements, giving your city an extra level of detail never before seen in game.

Features:
  • Dynamic signage! The train will show "uptown" or "downtown" depending on what direction it's going, with blank rollsigns on the prop.
  • Dynamic announcements! Realistic announcements play at stations, with different lines for each direction of the train. Voiceover done by a real NYC Subway conductor! (Requires Vehicle Effects mod)
  • Additive shader headlights and taillights. (Requires Additive Shader mod)
  • Brand new, accurate model and textures
  • PROPS INCLUDED IN THIS SUBSCRIPTION!
  • Balanced passenger capacity
  • Vanilla metro and Metro Overhaul Mod compatible

Suggested mods for the best experience

Specs:
  • Speed/Acceleration: Same as vanilla metro
  • Tris: A reasonable amount
  • Textures: Everything shares one 1k equivalent texture and two 256x textures. LOD textures are 64px. Use LSM for true texture sharing.
  • Capacity: 330 passengers

Thank you to EvametryE for the amazing screenshots, and to Max Diamond for the voiceover!

@hottt3 - Sorry to disappoint, but the train is always green, matching the original prototypes.

Nice Subway train. Say are you going to do more draggable bridges in the near future?
