I was a little but did remember seeing more than what I rode on the (5) no arguing there, wow its just odd that they painted so few that color. Still interesting though. |

Among all this discussion about the various R-33 paint schemes I think that the R-36/10 racing stripe scheme would have looked just fine on the mainline R-26s through 33s and the R-27s and 30s if the NYCTA had the intestinal fortitude to do it. |

So sad they were junked soon afterwards, and the investment in these repairs flushed away.Regarding Pic #8 - I'd guess that train wasn't actually going to Queens Blvd, which was closed in April 1985. It's been posted on here before that by the time those signs were ordered an installed, the J was already terminating at 121. |

This is what Wikipedia says about the remaining R-30's. There are only five (5) of them on NYCTA property, and none of the R-27's."8429 and 8558 - converted to Rail Adhesion Cars, based at Coney Island Yard and Pitkin Yard, respectively. 8506 - preserved at the New York Transit Museum in Brooklyn, New York...This car is painted in the R30s' original dark olive paint scheme. 8481 and 8522 - Used as office space at the MTA NYC Transit's 207th Street Yard in Upper Manhattan." -William A. Padron ["SMEE"] |

When the first Showed up with it I was hoping the entire fleet would get it but unfortunately, except for the R-10s, the rest of the fleet got the tartar red of the R-29s. |

When brand new, the R-21s and 22 were green although it was what the contract books referred to as “subway green” which was more of an olive drab. |

For some reason, after the R-10s through 15s, the B of T and TA went back to the “subway green” or olive drab of the R-1/9s the only exception being the R-17 which were pained a maroon. I even recall seeing the last of the R-22s arriving in 240 St Yd brand new and being surprised at how green they actually looked. Fortunately a few better heads prevailed and the TA opted for a more cheerful paint scheme which started with the tartar red R-29s. |
