The 20th Century Limited, 1948

On September 15, 1948, actress Beatrice Lillie and General Dwight D. Eisenhower (then president of Columbia University) were the guests of honor at christening ceremonies for an all-new train, which was held at New York’s Grand Central Terminal. The Hickory Creek was built in 1948 by the Pullman Standard Car Manufacturing Company for the re-equipping of the 20th Century Limited (started in 1902). The car was part of the largest order by the New York Central in an effort to provide it's riders with the latest up-to-date technology. Some of these advancements included florescent lighting throughout, ice cold water and separate climate controls in every bedroom, electrically controlled braking, and magic doors that operated pneumatically. With a pull or push of the door handle, the door would swing effortlessly granting entry to the car. If required, the door could be held open, allowing the easy boarding of guests and accompanying baggage. The Hickory Creek was configured as a five double bedroom, buffet, lookout lounge car. The unique design, credited to Henry Dreyfuss (famed industrial designer of the time), included a raised lookout lounge that was 12 inches above the rest of the room, with oversized windows and furniture configured in such a way that ensured a view of the scenery from any position. These Creek cars were truly unusual in appearance. A characteristic that set them apart from their 1938 Dreyfuss-designed predecessors, and most other lightweight observation cars, was the deep windows in the gracefully rounded tail-end that gave the cars the name “Lookout Lounges.” Two days after the christening the new 20th Century Limited entered revenue service. The Hickory Creek operated in service on the 20th Century Limited from 1948 to 1967, at which time it was retired.

The Lehigh Valley

Steel car construction ca 1915. An advertisement appearing in a Lehigh Valley timetable for 1900 under the modest heading "Handsomest Train In The World" included these points: The day coaches are Pullman built, after the latest models. Each car contains ladies' and gentlemen's lavatories and large and comfortable smoking rooms. The last car of the train is a magnificent Pullman Palace Car, with seating capacity for twenty-eight persons. This is an observation car, having plate glass windows at the rear end, and wicker chairs which are so arranged as to be placed at the pleasure of the passenger. The train is lighted throughout (including vestibules) by Pintsch gas, heated by steam, and protected by the Westinghouse automatic brake system, and with Pullman extension vestibules (which project the full width of the car) fitted with nontelescoping device. Each car on the train is finished in polished Mexican mahogany, with figured mahogany panels and inlaid beveled French plate mirrors. The ceilings are of the new style Empire dome pattern, finished in white and gold."

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.
