The R29 was a New York City Subway car built in 1962 by the St. Louis Car Company for the IRT division (also known as the A Division). They have very similar appearances to the R26 and R28 cars with the exceptions that they were built by a different company and permanently paired with link bars instead of couplers. These were also the first subway cars to feature a bright red paint scheme. Four cars (8686 8687 8804 and 8805) were tested with G70 trucks.
