And NTTs (if they’re crossed out, they don’t exist on the system, credit to Wikipedia for this):
R142 – Built by Bombardier Transportation. The first production model of NTT trains. Built for the A Division. Entered service on July 10, 2000.[2][7] Assigned to the 2, 4, and 5 routes. The R142s are similar to the R142As and the R188s.[8][9] Replaced the A Division Redbirds.
R142A – Built by Kawasaki Rail Car Company. Used by the A Division. Also entered service on July 10, 2000, the same day the R142s entered service.[2][7] 380 cars converted into R188s. 220 cars remain unconverted,[10][11] and are currently assigned to the 4. The R142As are similar to the R142s and nearly identical to the R188s.[8][9] Replaced the A Division Redbirds.
R143 – Built by Kawasaki Rail Car Company. The first model of NTTs for the B Division, assigned to the L, J and Z. Entered service on February 12, 2002.[12] Equipped with CBTC, the first subway car to be equipped with this feature.[8] The R143s are similar to the R160s and R179s.[8][13][14]
R160 – Built by Alstom and Kawasaki Rail Car Company. Used by the B Division. There are two subtypes since these cars were built by two different manufacturers. R160As were built by Alstom, while R160Bs were built by Kawasaki. The R160Bs entered service on August 17, 2006, while the R160As entered service on October 17, 2006. Currently, the R160s are assigned to the E, F, J/Z, L, M, and R routes. 17 four-car sets have CBTC for the L. An additional 309 sets, configured in four and five-car sets, will be equipped with CBTC for the IND Queens Boulevard Line, which the E, F, M, and R routes run on.[15] The R160s are similar to the R143s and R179s; however, none of them are interchangeable.[2][8][14][16][13] Replaced all R38s, R40s, and NYCT R44s, along with most R32s and R42s.
R188 – Built by the Kawasaki Rail Car Company. The R188s entered service on December 15, 2013.[17] They are used exclusively on the 2, 3, 4, 5 7 routes of the A Division, and thus is grouped in five car trains, and are CBTC equipped. The order consists of 380 converted R142A cars and of 126 identical newly built cars. The R188s are similar to the R142s in addition to being nearly identical to the R142As.[10][11]
R179 – Built by Bombardier Transportation. Used by the B Division. The first car to be delivered, numbered 3014, arrived at 207th Street Yard on September 6, 2016.[18] The R179s entered service on December 27, 2017.[19] All cars were delivered by the end of December 2019.[20] Currently, the R179s are assigned to the A, C, M, Rockaway Park Shuttle, and J/Z routes.[21] The R179s are similar to the R160s and R143s.[8][10] Replaced all remaining R32s and R42s.
R211 – Built by Kawasaki Rail Car Company. The first NTT train model with a redesigned appearance. R211As and R211Ts are used by the B Division and R211Ss are used by the Staten Island Railway. 20 cars are open-gangway experimental prototype cars. Currently, the R211s are assigned to the A, C, B, G, and Rockaway Park Shuttle routes, in addition to the Staten Island Railway. Will also have Wi-Fi, security cameras, digital video screens, and electronic charging stations.[22] The R211 introduces a new exterior and interior not present on previous NTT orders.[10][23][24] Will replace all SIR R44s and R46s, along with some R68 cars.

R110A – Contract number was R130. Built by Kawasaki Rail Car Company and used mainly on the 2 route. Was a prototype train for the A Division that operated from 1993 to 1999. Used to test out new technology features that would be incorporated into the R142 car order. Was not intended for long-term production use.[8][26][27] All B-cars of the set were converted into pump cars between 2013 and 2014.[28][29] All A-cars set to be converted in the future.[30]
R110B – Contract number was R131. Built by Bombardier Transportation and used mainly on the A route. Also ran on the C route for final years in service. Was a prototype train for the B Division that operated from 1993 to 2000. Designed to test various new technology features that would eventually be incorporated into the R143 car order and was also not intended for long-term production use.[8][26][27] Five cars were sent away and repurposed, while three cars remain at 207th Street Yard. In 2025, car 3007 was placed on display inside the New York Transit Museum.
