R4 is also the contract number for the second order of standard subway cars ever to have run on the IND New York Subway. They were built by American Car & Foundry between 1932 and 1933, and were practically identical to the original R1 order. The 500 R4s were numbered 400-899 to follow on from the R1's sequence of numbers.

R4 assault rifle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (380 words)
The R4 is a South African assault rifle developed in 1980 for the South African Army to replace the R1, which was a variant of the FN FAL.
The R4 was first issued during the early 1980s, and is partly based on the Israeli Galil which in turn was based on the Finnish Rk 62.
The Rk 62 was derived from the AK-47.
