Description
This is MTH 80-3231-1 HO NYC 4-6-4. 4-6-4 Empire State express steam engine with Proto-Sound 3.0. New York Central. Cab number: 5429. But by the Roaring Twenties, most high-class rail travel was by Pullman, and coach trains on daytime runs, like the Empire State Express, were often seen as a less desirable way to travel. High-quality coach travel made a comeback during the Depression, however, as railroads sought to attract customers by offering less-expensive fares combined with upgraded amenities. So it was that on December 7, 1941, with much fanfare, the New York Central launched a newly equipped Empire State Express with two Henry-Dreyfus-styled Hudsons and gleaming, streamlined Budd-built train sets. Passengers on the inaugural run were surprised at the scarcity of trackside observers – until they heard about the event halfway around the world that had overshadowed all other news that December Sunday.
