Well, I did some research, and only these related items came up from a three-volume set of NYC subway history books published during the 1970's.During December 1957, during a labor dispute ("wildcat strike"), special BMT trains operated between Jamaica-179th Street and Whitehall Street via the 11th Street Cut (60th Street Tunnel). Certain tests were being done on various lines. It was reported that BMT AB's were being operated on the IND "F" line in 1958, as some R-16 cars went over to the Brighton Line that same year. As for R-27/30's operating on the "GG"? No documentation exists if that ever happened, although there is one photo from 1966 showing an R-16 operating on the "GG" that was published in a new subway book authored by Matt Herson. -William A.
