New York City Subway R33S "Bluebird"

The R33 was a New York City Subway car model built by St. Louis Car Company in 1963. The cars were also referred to as R33WF (R33 Worlds Fair). They were purchased for service on the IRT Flushing Line, which was the closest line to the 1964 New York World's Fair. A total of 40 cars were built, arranged as single cars. They were very similar to the R33 cars, save for differently shaped side windows (three-piece curved windows on the R33S cars as opposed to three-sectioned rectangular windows on the R33 cars), and the fact that the R33S cars were single cars with a cab at both ends. The R33S fleet entered service on September 26, 1963, and was originally painted in a light blue turquoise "Bluebird" scheme. This was used until the mid-1970s when they were painted in the silver/blue MTA livery. Then, they were painted a full white (roof, bonnets, sides were all painted white) from 1981 to 1982 to combat graffiti; since the white paint was a Teflon-based paint, the graffiti did not stick to it very well. The fleet was overhauled in the mid-1980s, during which the cars were painted red, leading to the nickname "Redbirds". The R33S fleet was replaced in the early 2000s with the delivery of the R142 and R142A cars, with the last train of R33S and R36s running on November 3, 2003. After being retired, some R33S cars were preserved, but most were kept for work service; many of the work cars were scrapped in the 2010s. Car 9306 was preserved in 1985 before being overhauled like the rest of the fleet, thus retaining its Bluebird paint scheme. It is among 6 preserved R33S cars and 3 painted in the World's Fair livery.

The cab at the rear is referred to the B end, while the cab at the front is the A end.

-Head into the B end cab
-Turn on the Main Lights, Marker and End Lights, Battery, and Motor-Generator switches
-Head to the A end cab
-Turn on the Main Lights, Marker and End Lights, and Compressor switches
-Turn on the Door Controls switch in the A end if you will be operating doors from that car. Same thing for the Passenger Intercom switch (cables must be run between the couplers of cars if you want the intercom to work throughout the entire train)
-Open the A end storm door. Near the top left turn on the Car Lights Key and release the handbrake.
-In the motorman's seat, look near the floor and insert the reverser and brake handles.
-Move the brake handle one notch to the left and the Main Reservoir will build pressure
-Once Main Reservoir pressure is >100 the brakes may be released. Move the brake handle all the way to the left (see below on how the brake handle works). Brake Pipe will show 0 psi when brakes are released and 90 psi when they are fully applied.
-Set the reverser to F or R and then increase the Main Controller (throttle).

If you are configuring a trailing unit, follow all of these steps up to and including releasing the handbrake. Do not insert the reverser or brake handles because this will prevent the car from receiving controls from its master.

The brake handle has 3 notches or zones:
-The leftmost zone is Service, where the handle can be linearly moved to control service braking. All the way to the left is brakes released and all the way to the right is an 80 psi brake application.
-The middle notch to the right of service is Max Brake. This applies a 85 psi brake application.
-The last notch to the right of Max Brake is Emergency. This applies a 90 psi brake application and also dumps the Main Reservoir. After emergency is applied, the brakes can only be released by moving the brake handle to either Max Brake or any position in Service. The compressor must also be on.

The doors may get stuck in lower physics settings if you are running a long train

The Door Controls switch must be on in any car where you are planning to operate the doors. The doors can be operated from either the A or B cab using the panel to the right of the side window. You must turn on the door key and then the operation panel will work.
