The "C" ONLY operated the Westinghouse R27s (8136-8249) from 1985 until late 1988 when the R30s joined them. There were no other R27/30s on the "C" before 1988 except one time in 1983 when I just missed one pulling out at Utica Ave-you know I was shocked crapless LOL. But at that time you were liable to find anything anywhere.

The red R30s that I am speaking of was the UNREBUILT units (8412-8569). Those came on the scene sometime in late 1988, and boy did they look sharp. That was the 2nd best thing the "C" ever operated, the 1st going to the rebuilt R30/R30As IMHO.

As for the REBUILT units, the "C" did not start operating them until early 1989 and they were only the R30s (8250-8349-or what ever the last car of the R30 series). These are what replaced the R27s.

The R30As (8350-8411) didn't arrive on the "C" until December 1990. These are what replaced the UNREBUILT red R30s.
