The 425-car contract was a joint venture of Westinghouse AM-Rail Company, ANF Industrie of Paris, Jeumont Schneider, and Alsthom. The cars were built in France from 1986 to 1988 and shipped to New York Harbor. They replaced many R10s, all remaining 6300-series R16s, and some R27/30s. The R68 was the third R-class contract to be built with 75-foot (23 m) cars, which have more room for sitting and standing passengers per car than the 60-foot (18 m) cars that were used previously. However, because 75-foot (23 m) cars take longer to load and unload and cannot fit in the entire "B" division, orders made afterwards have returned to 60-foot (18 m) cars.
