The Empire State Express was part of the New York Central? S Great Steel Fleet, the name given to the railroad? S group of all-steel modernized cars. The inaugural run of the Empire State passenger train took place on Dec. 7, 1941, the same day Pearl Harbor was attacked. Despite this unlucky beginning, the Empire State became known for its luxurious accommodations and service. The train’s cars were dubbed’dreamliners,’ a play on streamliners, to emphasize the upscale mode of travel. All the cars of the Empire State were named for NY State Governors, with the exception of six coaches built with numbers only on their lower boards. The steel cars of the Empire State remained in service until the end of the NYC railroad in the late 1960s. The shiny silver cars reproduce the Great Steel Fleet in extruded aluminum.
