context_page_description: The R12 was a New York City Subway car built by the American Car and Foundry Company in 1948. The cars were the first post-war city-owned rolling stock for the IRT division. They were very similar to the R10s, except that the R12s were smaller since they were built to meet A Division specifications. A total of 100 cars were built, arranged as single units. Two versions were manufactured: Westinghouse-powered cars and General Electric-powered cars.
  The first R12s entered service on July 13, 1948; the fleet initially ran on the IRT Flushing Line until the R33S and R36 World's Fair fleets were delivered in the 1960s. The R12s were retired in the early 1980s due to service reductions prior to the delivery of the R62 fleet in the mid-1980s, and the final train of R12s ran in September 1981. Two R12 cars were saved for the New York Transit Museum, while the rest were scrapped.
