Since the R-10s were already retired during that point in time because by the looks of things, these were probably shot during October - November, 1989 as evident passengers were already wearing all weather jackets, the R-27/30 units upon the R-10s retirement were already operating on the C Line during that time and these were given the Redbird paint treatment. However it was a little disappointing that those R-27/30 units were not featured on this video.

@mightyflux You're right: I took the No.1,2 &3 to my vocational school back in late 1983-84 and this line already had the silver cars running on the tracks. I forget the "R" series designation.

@dandd239 I checked out the cops' uniforms: they still appear to be wearing the light blue shirts underneath their jackets; the new dark uniforms of today did not materialize until somewhere in 1994-5. So it's possible this could have been 1989 or 1990.

@dandd239 Most likely this was shot in '89.

As a 19 year-old in 1989, I remember very vividly thinking to myself that times were changing. I felt that things were getting bland, and that it wasn't like the mid-eighties anymore. A new era was dawning.

@dandd239 If this shot is from the 80s, then its defitnitely from 1989. The graffiti phase died out in the summer of that year. You do have a point though, it doesnt necessarily look like this was taken from the 80s but in a way i think it is. If you pause at 0:33, you'l see how the train car looks. (i think its an R44 or R46) You'l notice it doesnt have that yellow sign on the window telling u the last stop of the train. I believe those signs came in the picture in the mid 90s.

Does not look like the eighties to me. Not the clothes or the hairstyles or the cleanliness of the train & the stations. Wonder if the number in the corner of the screen is actually the date filmed April 20, 2002??
