NEW YORK — The Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s Metro-North Railroad has introduced the eighth in its series of heritage locomotives, wrapping P32AC-DM No. 216 to honor U.S. veterans.
The locomotive was designed and created by Metro-North veterans, the railroad says in a Facebook post, and “embodies our gratitude to those who have worn the uniform, both within the Metro-North family and across the country.”
The locomotive will be on display at Grand Central Terminal on Tuesday, Nov. 11 — Veterans Day — and Wednesday, Nov. 12. It will enter service later in the month.
Previous locomotives in the heritage series have honored Metro-North employees; the original Metro-North paint scheme; an “MTA Central” design worn by FL9s; Conrail; New York Central; Penn Central; and the New York, New Haven & Hartford.
