New York Central has roots going as far back as 1853. In their heyday of the 1940âs, they were known for their fast speed and streamlined passenger equipment. Famous luxury trains such as the 20th Century Limited gave passengers first-class treatment running from New York City to Chicago. Itâs last official run was 1967...or maybe it could have continued? In an alternate era with passenger ridership on an upswing, itâs possible to imagine NYC ordering newer motive power for their name-sake passenger trains. Wanting to continue their famous service, NYC ordered 10 SDP45âs from EMD to GN specifications. Painted in their âCigar Bandâ scheme of the early 1960âs, these SDP45âs would look great pulling streamlined passenger trains on your layout!
