The R26 was a New York City Subway car built in 1959 and in 1960 by American Car and Foundry (ACF). They were made for the IRT Division and were the first cars to not be built with operating cabs at both ends. The even-numbered car carried the motor generator and battery set for electrical equipment while the odd numbered car held air compressor for the brakes.
