That would have been the C. I am referring to the red (not Fox Red) paint job which many olive drab LAHT cars got in the late 60s. We were at 14th St. one Saturday morning and had just gotten off a southbound A train. I looked over to the northbound platform and saw an AA train of red R-27/30s. It was unusual to see those cars there, as by that time base AA service was provided by R-32s. I still associate the R-27/30s with the BMT, particularly the RR followed by the old JJ and QJ routes. I also remember seeing pre-Chrystie St. QB trains of those cars along Broadway on Saturdays in 1967 (the QB was a late night and weekend operation before Chrystie St), not to mention T trains of R-32s.
