As a long time LIRR rider I immediately knew this was not a LIRR MP54 or MP70 coach. Both had dark green vinyl seat covers, not the two tone style shown here.But on second look, this car appears to be a 1954-built New Haven Pullman-Standard "washboard" coach. The seats and paired windows and tile floors are the giveaways. Don't think it's one of the "American Flyer" type prewar cars. Some of those did end up on the LIRR as second hand coaches. |
