They continued in service on the Montreal to New York run until the ouster of D&H Presedent Bruce Sterzing, in 1978. An impressive career of almost 40 years. |

cars were rebuilt with air-conditioning in the '40s, and some continued in service
until the formation of Amtrak in 1971. The car on the left was built by B&S, and has been modified with air conditioning, The car on the right is an AC&F car (identified by the absence of ribs on the roof) and is shown as built, without air conditioning. |

Type | D&H Dining Car #154. |
Description | This car was originally built for New York Central, as their heavyweight diner #664. D&H bought it in the late '40s, when their 1907 vintage wooden diners were judged too old for service. It came from NYC in the then standard Pullman Green scheme. By the late '50s D&H had begun painting it's passenger equipment in two-tone gray, to match the cars of NYC. |
Type | D&H 701 series Baggage/Mail car. |
Description | The Forest Green and Ivory paint scheme was used by the D&H in the '40s. Since "head end" (baggage and mail) equipment is usually the last to get re-painted, many of D&H's mail cars wore this scheme for several years, after the coaches and diners stopped carying it. |
