R44/R46 New York City Subway

The R44 and R46 subway trains for the New York subway entered service in 1971 as the first set of 75 ft trains for the subway system. During testing, they achieved the world speed record for subway trains reaching 87.75 mph (141.22 km/h).

The R44 trains have largely been retired from the system, though they continue to be the exclusive rolling stock of the Staten Island Railway. The R46, ordered in 1975 to largely the same design, continue to run on many routes on the Subway.

Due to their similarities, I've decided to pack them into one vehicle in this mod.
In this mod, there is the option of having a double 8-car train and a single 4-car.
Each can be found in the 3 liveries:

• Plain - Current, bare metal livery with springs between cars and on the front
  
• Original - Blue stripe livery as delivered
  
• Recolourable - Original livery, but with stripes being recolourable.

For fun, I've decided to bump the maximum speed of these trains to 115 km/h to reflect their intended high-speed design.

Specifications for a 8-car double set:
Max Speed: 115 km/h (71 mph)
Capacity: 2,420
Mass: 307,828 kg
Power: 3,648 kw
Price: $10,400,000
Maintenance Cost: $288 per day
Running Cost: $0.05 per km per pax
Length: 182.16m
