" In terms of the latter, this is probably one of the reasons in 1984 that NYC Transit took out of service and scrapped many troublesome R-10's at Coney Island Yard and Linden Yard, including the very first one built and delivered #2950 (ex-1803)."

So this explains why all of the sudden by the Summer of 1983, the bulk of the "C" service was provided by R38s - when the R44s returned from their "vacation" from 1982.
