can anyone give me a basic consist of a NYC passenger train during the 1950s/1960s? or consists of other passenger trains, thankyou.
It depends upon which line and what train. I wouldn’t even try myself. But if you need some detailed information, I would suggest that you join the New York Central System group at Yahoo - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/newyorkcentralsystem/
They exist only to talk about NYC Passenger service.
There are other sources, but this would get you an answer the quickest.
And when the 20th Century rolled out of Grand Central Station it took along an ATSF Pullman car.
