MUNIPALS #11RB NYC Subway Redbird Flushing Local

NYC Subway Redbird Flushing Local / MP01-11RB

In coordination with New York City Subway, we have created 25 different subway trains. All are safety tested, and made of solid wood for sturdy and fun play on tracks or floor.

Redbirds are named for the deep red color they were painted, known as "Gunn Red" in honor of its originator and NYC Transit Authority President at the time, David L. Gunn. The deep red colored paint was chosen to combat Graffiti. The final trip made by a Redbird train was on November 3, 2003 on the Flushing Line. Rebirds now have either been sunk off the coast of Delware, Georgia, New Jerseym South Carolina, and Virgina as artifical reefs to promotion marine life and some still operate in the system repurposed as garbage trains or rider cars for work trains.
