NYCTA R27 Subway Car
The NYCTA purchased 230 of these cars from the St. Louis Car Company in 1960 for use on the IND.
Most served on both the IND and BMT lines through their history. The last of them were retired from passenger service in 1993.
Car # 8506 can still be seen at the NYC Transit Museum. Originally delivered in a dark olive green paint which quickly degenrated into the color show here,
sometime in 1968 they started receiving red paint (except for their roofs). In the early 70's, the NYCTA started switching everything to its silver with blue stripe paint scheme. It was possible to see these in all 3 paint schemes for a while.
