No.It was once one of the Western Maryland units that became LIRR power packs 607-610. This was one of them. They converted it to 480v AC HEP power cars 3100 to accompany the C-1 bi-levels around 1990, with WABCO bull-cock couplers, and nose chopped off to be the rounded open platform. It also got all stainless siding and M-1 style end doors. Conversion cost them $800K. Then converted back to a 650v DC power pack with the last of the Pullman-Standard trains. It has not run since 2000. |

I believe the M9 (two pairs, 9009/9010, 9011/9014) on the property now were delivered like that. There's supposed to be another set somewhere in Pennsylvania coming up soon. |
