The R30 was a New York City Subway car built by St. Louis Car Company for the New York City Transit Authority in 1961 and 1962. It was a continuation of the R16 and R27 style. They were a "follow-up" or supplemental stock for the B Division's R27s and closely resemble them. The cars were coupled together as pairs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=www.nycsubway.org )〕 Cars 8352–8411 were equipped with GE SCM controllers (first New York City Subway cars to be equipped with this system) and labeled R30As whereas the rest of the fleet were equipped with the older GE MCM or Westinghouse XCA248 controllers. ==History== The R30s were primarily BMT Eastern Division cars, although they would appear in the northern and southern divisions from time to time. Like their R27 sister units, the R30s wore several paint schemes over the course of their career. Originally delivered in a dark olive green paint scheme, many were repainted bright red in the late 1960s before receiving the MTA platinum mist grey-and-blue scheme beginning in 1970. The rebuilt R30s were finished in a fox red color and were called the BMT Redbirds. 162 GE equipped R30s and all R30As were overhauled in 1985, which included being repainted in the Redbird style of the IRT cars. The unrebuilt R30s, which were Westinghouse cars numbered 8412-8569, were also painted red in the mid-1980s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「R30 (New York City Subway car)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
