This Westinghouse/AEG/ADTranz GTO system was quite popular in the 90s I noticed. Aside from these three subway trains, it's also used on the 1996 P2000 LRVs in Los Angeles and formerly on the Kinki Sharyo light rail vehicles in Dallas prior to their refurbishment into Super LRVs. I wonder what this system so popular?

the Breda VLC also has the same traction motors.

the T1 motors are amazing

The R110a may be the original one, but the T1s sound more awesome and unique when it accelerates.

The C301 is actually the original. Kawasaki started construction on TRTC’s order in 1991, while the R110As were constructed in 1992. It’s quite possible they shared floor space during construction as they were both assembled at the Yonkers factory.

I think it has something to do with the almost gun like relay click that they often make before the GTO sound kicks in

Contrary to what people believe, that sound it makes isn't the gears but rather the sound comes from the thyristors. The train picks up DC current from the third rail, which gets converted into AC power using an inverter to drive the wheels. This supply is regulated with gate turn-off thyristors, which is the reason it makes that noise.

The LA metro P2000 series trains have a motor that sounds like the T1, however they are getting upgraded right now and getting new motors.

The T1 sound awesome 👌 😊 and the R110a

I gotta say, the R110A is amazing

The R110A and TTC T1 have the same sound that’s crazy

my favourite on e is the c301 and i also rode on both the gto vvvf and igbt vvvf motor versions.

C301 takes it by virtue of having by far the best deceleration sound. Having regenerative braking unlike the other two means the wind-down is a lot more audible than on the T1 or R110A, and the traction sound doesn’t cut out until the train essentially stops. Acceleration sound is essentially a tie, although you can tell the T1 and R110A have lower-geared motors by their slightly faster “chopping” during acceleration.

Indeed! I miss this sound…

The R110A is like the R142

I would’ve also added the LA Metro Siemens P2000, same exact propulsion

I like all of them

T1 is the best

How about another Siemens comparison between the PATH PA-5 and the VAG Class G1?

The R110A in New York City (new technology train prototype) and Taipei Metro's C301 were both constructed in 1992 by Kawasaki Heavy Industries rail car division (with the C301 wearing the Union Rail Car subsidiary brand of KHI) while Bombardier Transportation (now part of Alstom Transport) built the T1 fleet for Toronto Transit Commission from 1995 to 2001.

The c7 one sounds horrid
