R8A was a class of New York City Subway revenue cars built in 1939 by the St. Louis Car Company and used to gather and transport tokens from stations along the IND division. 66 and 67 were the only two cars built. Being blind motors the cars were usually towed around by a set of out of service R1-9 cars. 66 was last operated in 1970 after which it was removed from service and sent to Jamaica Yard Training Services to be used as a shed. It was removed some time before 1990 and scrapped.
