The R127 and R134 are New York City Subway cars purpose-built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries[1] in Kobe, Japan for work train service.
[2] The cars were built to the specifications of the subway's A Division (numbered routes), which are slightly narrower than those of the B Division (lettered routes), and are similar to the R62 and R62A passenger cars used on the A Division.
However, they can be found on either division and are used as garbage train motors.
They are not air-conditioned and instead have axiflow fans, resulting in these cars frequently replaced by air-conditioned passenger cars used on garbage trains in summer.
