The R40 was a New York City Subway car built between 1967 and 1969 by the St. Louis Car Company in St. Louis, Missouri, serving the B (IND/BMT) Division. The R40 fleet is numbered 4150 - 4349; cars 4250 - 4349 were originally numbered as 4350 - 4449 until 1970 (cars 4150 - 4249 retained their original numbers). These cars were unique for their 10–degree slanted end, designed by the firm of Raymond Loewy and Associates. Loewy is also well known for his work in designing the Studebaker Champion automobile. The first incomplete pair of R40s (cars 4350 and 4351) came onto TA property in November 1967 for promoting the Transportation Bond issue on Election Day. In January 1968, the R40 fleet entered service on the F train.
