The New York Central

Car 4700 - New York Central ACMU (air conditioned multiple unit) The New York Central first took delivery of these cars between February and May 1962 to replace some of the older MU cars that had seen 55 years of service. The first lot ordered in May 1961 and built by Pullman-Standard, were numbered 4600-4625. The New York Central owned these cars. Cars numbered 4700-4725 were leased from the Port Authority of New York/New Jersey. The ACMU's are 85 feet long, seat 130 people and cost approximately $150,000 when new. They were delivered to the New York Central in olive green paint with gold striping. They were very similar to the 4500 series cars delivered in 1950 and 1951. One of the more distinguishing spotting features was their sealed twin beam headlight as opposed to the large single beam headlight of the 4500's. Another feature was smaller passenger windows. Windows were also tinted to eliminate the need for shades. Pullman Standard claimed the 4600's and the 4700's could reach a top speed of 100 mph. The newer cars were designed so they would operate with the 4500's. The cars owned by the Port Authority were sometimes called the Rockefeller cars in reference to the state monies used to purchase the cars. The New York State governor at the time, Nelson Rockefeller, was influential in getting legislation passed to purchase the cars.
