In the late 1950s and early 1960s many cars of all types including BMT steels, R-1/9s, R-10s and Lo-Vs received a solid green interior paint scheme often referred to as “Patterson Green” after the NYCTA chairman at the time. I even recall seeing a few Multis in that color just prior to their scrapping. |

Several look like they were taken on the A line. I cant figure out what station the sailor is waiting in--Bway Nassau or High St??? The shot at Dekalb is cool with the newish R-32's speeding into the station!! |

Yeah, I remember those "Patterson Green" interiors also as a young child when riding the R-10's on the "A". There is an image taken by Doug Grotjahn of the interior of car #1848 (later renumbered as #2995 in 1970) in James Greller's book "New York City Subway Cars (R-1 to R-160)"in that paint scheme. R-6-1 museum car #1300 is currently painted inside in the darker green style these days.-William A. Padron ["a.c.f."] |
