A typical New York City Subway train consists of 8 to 11 cars, although shuttles can have as few as 2, and the train can range from 150 to 600 feet in length. Trains not in revenue service can be up to 12 cars long.

The New York City Subway system maintains two separate fleets of cars, one for the IRT lines and another for the BMT/IND lines. All BMT/IND equipment is about 10 feet wide and either 60 feet 6 inches or 75 feet long whereas IRT equipment is approximately 8 feet 9 inches wide and 51 feet 4 inches long.

For many years, there were 10 cars with a length of 60 feet each. On rare occasions, you may still see one of these older trains.

During the 1950's, on the IND Division, 11 car trains of 60 foot cars for a total length of 660 feet were operated. These were discontinued after a few years and are not operated today. Since the 1960's 11 car trains have been in

operation on one line of the IRT Division and are still in operation today.

On the BMT/IND Division, older trains of 60 foot cars may be operated in lengths

of 6, 8, or 10 cars. The newest cars are in units of 4 or 5 car sets, and can be operated with two units, forming consists of 8 or 10 cars respectively.

Trains consisting of 75 foot cars, operating in full length consists, operate using 8 cars which are equivalent to 10 of the 60 foot cars. In half length operation, they run as 4 car consists, equivalent to 5 of the 60 foot cars. However operated, they are unitized in 4 car sets.

Other configurations have been used in the past, particularly on the BMT Division which had its own variety of unitized and articulated sets.
