After 10 years of behind the scenes work, we have acquired several pieces of beautiful, historic, and iconic transit equipment.
The Craggy Mountain Line is very happy to announce the acquisition of former Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) R-32 cars #3432 and #3433, which were built by Budd in 1964.
On the morning of Thursday, July 6, 2023, the MTA NYC Transit Subway cars 3432 and 3433 were loaded onto trailers at the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal in Brooklyn, New York, to be transported for preservation. The 600-car order of R-32s were the only cars produced by Budd for NYCTA. They are now on display at the Craggy Mountain Line Railroad located near Asheville, North Carolina.
The Craggy Mountain Line would like to thank MTA NYCT for donating these beautiful cars and for their tremendous assistance in planning and moving the cars for highway shipment to North Carolina.
