First streamlined in 1938, this Century put in several years of tough wartime service. And with big plans for its post-war passenger fleet, New York Central spent considerable time and money to re-do its flagship. The new Century debuted in September 1948 with some refurbished 1938 cars (made necessary by delivery delays) and all-new equipment from Pullman-Standard. New power in the form of EMD E7 diesel sets was also delivered. But as its riders took to the airlines and highways, the Century lost its luster, and quietly ended 65 years of service in late 1967.
