The timeline when the R-10's were on the "GG" (or "G") Crosstown route was between November, 1977 and May, 1985. I actually liked riding the R-10's on that route particularly because, while it was a local service, they were operating as fast sprinters, especially between Roosevelt Avenue and 71st-Continental Avenue.
While the R-10's were still associated with the "A" line back then, they first appeared on the "GG" route one month after the major changeover on October 20, 1977 when most of the fleet were sent to the "CC" based out of the Bronx. However, I can recall as a rider one fall 1977 R-10 "GG" trip pulling into Woodhaven Boulevard, and one passenger entered at the station for the train inside saying to himself, "What's the 'A' train doing here?"
