Remarks & Notes

The Pennsylvania Railroad once rostered over 500 MP-54 class MUs, a design dating to 1915, but by 1971 newer equipment was coming on line to replace them. This set of owl-eyed MP-54s running as a New York-New Brunswick local at Iselin, NJ, would soon give way to new Jersey Arrows. The first three cars still wear PRR keystones.
