NYCTA R46B Subway car

'The car that ruined Pullman-Standard' - Much like its predecessor the R44 ruined the St. Louis Car Company, problems with the R46 put Pullman-Standard out of business. From an original order for 754 cars to be delivered in 1974-75, delays in production caused the actual delivery to slip to 1975-78. During that time, serious problems with cracks in the Rockwell HP2T trucks caused many of the delivered units to be removed from service. The MTA filed a 112.3 million dollar lawsuit against Pullman-Standard, both for delays and the faulty trucks. By the end of 1979, over 20 other flaws, including serious problems with the brakes, were found, and an additional $80 million lawsuit was filed against Pullman-Standard. So many R46's were out of service that 100 retired R16's, which the R46's originally replaced, were pulled from storage and returned to service. By 1986, the R46's MDBF was less than 10,000 miles, the worst record in MTA history. In 1989-1991, they were rebuilt under the MTA's GOH program by Morrison-Knudsen, and finally became a reliably operating subway car.
