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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003erriage\u003cbr\u003eReal coal load\u003cbr\u003eOperating tender back-up light\u003cbr\u003eInterchangeable traction tire-equipped drive wheels\u003cbr\u003eOn-board DCC receiver\u003cbr\u003eOperates on Code 70, 83, \u0026amp; 100 rail curves\u003cbr\u003eOperating Kadee compatible remote controlled Proto-Coupler\u003cbr\u003eProto-Sound 3.0 with The Digital Command System featuring: passenger station Proto-Effects\u003cbr\u003eUnit measures: 13 1\/2 x 1 1\/2 x 2 1\/8\u003cbr\u003eOperates on 18 radius curves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProto-Sound 3.0 equipped locomotives can be controlled in command mode with any DCC compliant command control system.
