Car Repair/Overhaul Shop

Wheel, Truck, & Axle Shop | Coney Island Tour | Maintenance Shop


The Car Repair area is responsible for all repairs (electrical, mechanical, and structural) necessary to restore a car to a safe and reliable condition for passenger service. Under the Scheduled Maintenance System (SMS) program, Car Repair replaces components on one sixth of the fleet each year. The Paint Shop refurbishes and paints approximately 120 revenue and 12 work cars a year. Refurbishing includes the repair and refinishing of exterior metal, interior ceiling, seats and motorman cabs using graffiti resistant polyurethane finish paints. The Paint Shop also paints components for all subway cars such as compressors, tread brake units, fiberglass seats and various under-carriage parts.

In the past few years Car Repair restored 6 vintage BMT D-type museum cars to early 1930's appearance. These were featured in the Spike Lee film Malcolm X, and are used for the Transit Museum's Nostalgia Train. (A photo of the cars painted for the movie is available.) Also restored were 4 IRT Low Voltage subway cars for the September 1994 IRT 90th Anniversary.
